Saoirse Ronan attempted to teach Stephen Colbert how to pronounce Irish names

His reaction to Caoimhe…

SAOIRSE RONAN IS EVERYWHERE right now, and we’re not complaining. Last night, the Brooklyn actress appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

asaoirse

She attempted to teach Stephen how to speak with an Irish accent, and he didn’t quite nail it.

He then asked Saoirse to talk him through some Irish name pronunciations, and found each as baffling as the last. In particular, when it came to pronouncing Caoimhe, he simply had this to say:

asteph

You, go to hell.
