The Hollywood actress on life-changing books, her favourite YSL jumpsuit and spending Christmas at home in London
We’re moving into a new house in London, so we’re going to stay at home, put the tree up and cook holiday food. I always watch A Christmas Story. It’s this movie set in the 40s that’s super American and sort of hilarious.
I love making breakfast – pancakes, bacon and smoothies – for the kids [Milo, 12, Sailor, two, and Lula, one].
I also like having something amazing in a restaurant. China Tang At The Dorchester [in London] has the world’s most delicious dumplings. It also has a great bar and big round tables with Lazy Susans. I feel like we go there to eat at the weirdest hours.
One thing I enjoy about my job is playing different people and trying out new styles.
