Juggling in Movies
Death Defying Acts (2007)
[Guy Pearce, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Timothy Spall, Saoirse Ronan]
When famous escape artist Harry Houdini (Guy Pearce) arrives in Edinburgh and offers a $10,000 reward to anyone who can contact his mother from beyond the grave, a beautiful but deceptive psychic (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and her young "sidekick" daughter (Saoirse Ronan) take the challenge. As Houdini spends time with this mysterious woman, he is beguiled by her charms, and what begins as a con evolves into a far more complicated and dangerous affair.
At 1:25:29, Saoirse Ronan
juggles 2 balls,
on and off, for nearly 30 seconds.
On November 5, 2015, AOL news reported the following:
Ronan is fazed by one thing: her inability to juggle. Ronan doesn't
measure up, even after her turn in 2007's "Death Defying Acts."
"I can't juggle to save my life. And that's sharing a lot about myself.
That's a big part of myself that I swore I would never share. Years ago
I did a film about Harry Houdini and I played this little Scottish girl
from Edinburgh," she says. "We were these con artists. I had to juggle
in a scene. I just could not. I still can't do it."
