Since then, she has appeared in numerous TV dramas and films, including Maybe Baby, James and the Giant Peach, Jam & Jerusalem, Sensitive Skin, The Making of a Lady and The Wolf of Wall Street.

'I can't see any difference in having your hair dyed, your teeth fixed, your nose done, or your face smoothed out or lifted.'
