Anna Friel was worried she'd get "thrown on the scrapheap" when she turned 40 but soon learned that was not the case. "I did wonder about turning 40 and being thrown on the scrapheap. But apart from the shell changing, everything else changes in a much more positive way," Friel told RadioTimes magazine.
She added, "Wisdom, compassion, empathy, values, being parents - we're learning that people want to watch people they can relate to, not just the unachievable. We've got enough of that with the superhero movies." This comes shortly after Friel said she has been left battling "exhaustion and anxiety" after filming the drama series, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The actress said that her role in the show, in which she plays a tortured detective, has left her feeling emotionally and physically drained, meaning she's now keen to take on a less intense role.
