So that's never been a currency that,

I've had a relationship with or I had a relationship with when I was younger.

And I used to look at the young, beautiful actresses and think, oh, wouldn't it be lovely to be one of those, you know.

But I think in a way I was quite lucky because that never was a thing.

So I don't see it as a thing now.

And so whatever a character looks like is kind of –

I have no interest in it really, because it's about the authenticity of the character.

And that comes from early stage work, I think.

Whereas I think, I met Rachel Ward at the Actor Awards a few months ago.

And she'd just done that.

Did you see that amazing response that she did to, it was on Instagram.

She'd been at some public event and she hadn't been out there for a while.

And she's cut her hair short and she just looks incredible, you know, but she looks her age.

And the amount of hate and criticism, just this weird attack that she got for not still looking like her 23-year-old self was...

It was, I don't want to give it too much weight, it was just moronic.

It was utterly moronic.

And she came back out and she did this little post on Instagram and I'm going to misquote her, but the sense of it was, look, I'm really sorry I shocked you.

I haven't been around for a while.

People do get older and this is me and you did respond well.

quite violently to how I looked.
