The 'All the Money in the World' actress - who has 12-year-old daughter Matilda with her late ex-husband Heath Ledger - previously admitted that motherhood is at the 'centre of everything' she does.

She said: 'I think when you become a mother, it's sort of difficult to separate yourself from being a mother.

'Being a mother is not only who I am in my relationship with my daughter, but it's a part of the kind of work that I wanna make and the relationship with the person that I want to be for her. So there is really no area of my life that is untouched. It's at the center of everything that I do.'
