Two of our favourite Irish talents have joined forces. Saoirse Ronan will star in Hozier’s upcoming video for Cherry Wine. The Oscar nominated actress will play a young woman who is in an abusive relationship.
The Cherry Wine music video is set to be released on Valentine’s Day. Irish actor Moe Dunford will also feature in the video, which will be directed by Dearbhla Walsh.
Hozier said: “Domestic violence is an ongoing issue in our society, the statistics of which are shocking and the effects of which damage whole families, communities and span generations.”
“With the song Cherry Wine, I tried to get across the difficulty of coming to terms with and facing up to domestic violence and the dynamic of an abusive relationship.
“I’m honored to be joined by Saoirse Ronan, Dearbhla Walsh and Moe Dunford in spreading awareness on this issue.
Saoirse added, "I am equally honored to join Hozier to create awareness for the #FaceUpToDomesticViolence campaign with the release of Cherry Wine as a charity single.
"The song has always been one of my favorite tracks on his album. I hope through the video and song we can shine light on the issue and complexity of domestic abuse and in doing so help those caught up in the cycle of domestic violence."
