Jack Lowden, boyfriend of the beloved Irish actress Saoirse Ronan, made an odd comparison to his partner in a recent interview, praising her acting talents while referring to her as a “Ferrari”. What a Valentine’s Day compliment!
The pair met while working together on the 20128, Mary, Queen of Scots, however, they returned to once again work on the screen with The Outrun, a film based on the bestselling memoir by journalist Amy Liptrot.
The new drama tells the story of a woman who returns home to the remote Orkney Islands off the coast of Scotland after rehab for alcohol addiction and features Ronan as the lead with Scotsman Lowden as the producer as part of his company Arcade Pictures. It was filmed on location in the Orkney Islands throughout the summer of 2021 and is slated for release later this year.

In a recent interview with iNews, Lowden discussed collaborating with Ronan in the upcoming film, throwing praise at his partner and her talents, going as far as to call her "one of the best actors in the world" and a “Ferrari” of the acting world.
Speaking about the collaboration with his partner on the film he said: “My first love is actors and when you’re given a Ferrari like her, it’s all about how you make everything good for the Ferrari to show off. Don’t make a Ferrari do what a Renault Clio does.
"It’s a dreadful analogy but they’re like gold dust, good actors. When there’s someone like that, you just have to facilitate them and you will get gold. And my God did we."
He added: "We’re hugely appreciative of the level of scrutiny we have. We’re treated well but we don’t seek it either. People have got it far worse. It’s also obviously of our own making."
