Saoirse Ronan’s husband Jack Lowden disappoints her by refusing to perform a “cheesy karaoke duet” of her choosing.

“The Outrun” actress wants to channel her inner Lady Gaga with Jack playing her Bradley Cooper on a duet of “Shallow” from the movie “A Star Is Born” – which starred Gaga, 38, and Cooper, 49, as two singers who fall in love.

Appearing on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ on Thursday (24.11.07), Saoirse said: ‘I’ve been desperate for me and my husband Jack to do a cheesy karaoke duet.

“It’s ‘Shallow’ from ‘A Star is Born.’ I want him to be my Bradley, and I want him to be his Gaga.

“And he won’t. He hasn’t committed.

“And I’m like, well, what’s marriage for? You know what I mean? What are we doing here?”

Saoirse, 30, and Jack, 34, began dating in 2018 and married in 2024 in a wedding ceremony in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Jack worked as a producer on “The Outrun” and helped convince her to take the role of Rona, a young woman recently out of rehab for alcoholism who returns home to the Orkney Islands in Scotland to see her father.

Saoirse says Jack – who starred with her in the 2018 historical drama “Mary Queen of Scots” – is coming around to the idea of ​​collaborating with his wife more on screen and stage.

She told USA Today: “Jack didn’t want to for a long time, but I’ve now convinced him that it’s a good idea.

“I would really like to do something together on stage.

“Jack is a lot calmer than I am. He’s my voice of reason.

“But as a duo, we’ve both been on film sets our whole lives, so we have an appreciation for what we’re asking actors to do. We always want them to feel safe.”

“Fighting with My Family” star Jack admits that working with his wife ends the problem of them being separated for long periods due to their acting.

He told The Times newspaper: “Working together solves that problem, so that’s another reason why we want to do more together.

“‘The Outrun’ gave us such a taste for it. And it can be a lonely thing, this profession.”
