Sophie Turner has said it is ‘such a struggle being a single mother’ as she reflected on how her latest role gave her strength.
The British actress, 28, portrays notorious jewel thief Joan Hannington in the new ITV drama Joan, which follows her multifaceted life in the 1980s as a criminal and mother trying to get her daughter back from social services.
During filming for the series, Turner and pop star Joe Jonas announced they were splitting after four years of marriage.
It was reported earlier this month that they had finalised their divorce, bringing an end to a split that briefly became acrimonious.
Turner has now told the Sunday Times Culture magazine that she does not know if she could have brought the ‘same energy’ to the role of Hannington if she was not a mother.
She said: ‘It’s such a struggle being a single mother. Joan doesn’t go about it in the best way – but it is amazing to see her really fighting for her daughter.
