"People in my business in America didn't know anything about it, because they'd just see 'Sophie Winkleman' on the sheet and I'd go and do the audition and then get the job or not," Winkleman said. "And they didn't find anything out about me. They just knew me from my acting, which was quite important to me."
Winkleman said she had fond memories of working with Kutcher on "Two and a Half Men," which aired its final episode in 2015. She said the actor was "a delight, and very clever" and would spend his breaks deciding which businesses to invest in.

Children have been the main victims of the past year, and obviously their parents have been at a very high tension point because of financial worries, food worries, heating worries, and job worries," Winkleman said.

Winkleman said the charity had taken on a "safeguarding" role during the pandemic, ensuring that children who are living in disadvantaged or violent homes are being cared for.
"I feel that all babies are born the same. And I think if we don't fight for the ones in tough circumstances, we're not a society worth talking about," she added.
