Actress had ‘toe curling’ incidents
ANNE-MARIE Duff has said she had “experiences” that “would curl your toes” in the early days of her acting career.
The actress, 47, was talking in the wake of the sexual harassment scandal that has rocked Hollywood.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, she said: “I think it’s important the glamorous, multi-millionaires are speaking up, that has a huge ripple effect.
“Because if they, the people who other people see as having everything, have been through things, it makes them (other people) maybe feel capable of speaking up themselves.”
Asked by the show’s host, Kirsty Young, about her own experiences in the early days of her career, she said: “I have had quite a few experiences in my early career that would curl your toes.”
The Shameless star was previously married to Scottish actor James McAvoy, but the pair announced they were divorcing after 10 years of marriage in 2016.
Duff said that, while she had “been through a lot, certainly in the last few years”, it was “about doing the best that you can”.
The actress, who has also received critical acclaim for her theatre performances, said her luxury item for the island would be “beautiful underwear”.
She said: “As an actor most of the time you have to dress like an unmade bed, because you’re going to rehearsals, but underneath all of that I always have lovely underwear.”
Desert Island Discs is on BBC Radio 4 today, at 11.15am.
