It was fantastic to be able to have my kids on set. Dash, my eldest son, whoโs not quite five, was into knights and his godmother had given him a plastic Marks & Spencer knightsโ outfit and [first assistant director] Tommy Gormley said that he could stand to protect me during the scene where Clive [Owen] is talking about the immensity of sitting on the throne. Iโm actually looking through an archway at my son standing in his knightsโ costume protecting me!
