Speaking about marrying Jack, Saoirse revealed to USA Today, “I feel like I’m part of a group, which I never thought I would have. I used to think, ‘You’ll never have friends.

But I could see that that wasn’t really who he was; I could see these glimpses of this really interesting, very sensitive, very intelligent, artistic person that he doesn’t really let show.”

Or that we go on a very nice holiday, or that we have that time in the garden, that we have our life?’
