Crown star Claire tells of anxiety fight

- BY SYLVIA POWNALL

Claire Foy ACTRESS Claire Foy has revealed her struggles with anxiety and the feeling that she “can’t”.

The Crown star describes her long-running doubt about her talent which she says she used as a “tool to survive”.

The 34-year-old, whose mother is Irish, also opened up about the struggles she faces as a parent.

She told The Guardian: “The thing about it is, it’s not related to anything that would seem logical.

“It’s purely about that feeling in the pit of your stomach, and the feeling that you can’t.

“It was a tool to survive. To try to feel safe. You become someone’s parent, and suddenly you’re supposed to be capable?”
