She previously opened up about how her parents were constantly calling her to check how she was getting on during her start into acting, previously explaining to the Irish Daily Star: "They don’t stop calling me. And they’re like, ‘When’s that audition and how did you do? And what movie are you going to do next?’ And I’m like, ‘Oh my God, stop calling me, you’re obsessed with me!'"

She added that Bono wasn't initially keen on her career show, explaining: "It didn’t go over so well with my dad… I’ve been acting since I was 15 and my parents were just terrified. I think because they’ve been around and know what Hollywood is, especially for a woman.”
