The actor and singer on winning an Emmy, being mistaken for Emma Thompson and why Sharon Stone is the sexy older sister she wishes she had
We saw you on TV in 2021 in Ted Lasso, for which you won an Emmy – congratulations!
Thank you – it’s not something I ever thought I’d achieve. No one expected the show to seep its way into people’s hearts as much as it has, but it’s been magical. I never hide from the fact that I’m in my mid-40s, and 6ft 2 in heels, and parts where you are able to be vulnerable and silly and heartbreaking are rare … I don’t know whether a role like this will ever come along for me again.
I would probably be an interpreter. I’ve been plagued by fabulous Italians all my life, and I speak the language because of my other half.I’ve had Emma Thompson in the past, but I think that’s probably more our personality type than anything. We’re both a little bit silly.My baby girl. I waited a long time for her. I was busy doing theatre work, and I felt like I was about to miss the boat. By the time I got round to things, my fertility was questionable.
