I think when you have a character as richly drawn, I suppose then there are subconscious, mental notes that you've made.

I don't consciously think of how parenthood has changed me but I'm sure it must have.

It was fantastic to be able to have my kids on set. Dash, my eldest son, who’s not quite five, was into knights and his godmother had given him a plastic Marks & Spencer knights’ 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. I’m actually looking through an archway at my son standing in his knights’ costume protecting me!

I think Pilates is great, especially when you can do it with a trainer who keeps you on track.
