In my first few years as an actor, I took one terrible TV job after another.

I want any excuse to come home. My dad is not a spring chicken any more. If anyone says, 'Go buy a postage stamp in London,' I'll go and do it. Emily Mortimer buychickendad Change image and share on social
So what I do now is to pre-empt that by making the up into a virtue, and telling funny stories about how crap I am before people have a chance to notice it for themselves and think maybe I haven't realised. Emily Mortimer chancecrapempt share on social
