'We get to tell stories and pretend to be other people [as actors]. But dressing up and going to red carpets is a fantasy as well. It’s make believe. To stay normal you need to know its pretend,' she theorised.
Lorraine mentioned to the actress - who is married to Daniel Craig - that she happens to have James Bond as a husband.

'No, I’m married to Daniel Craig. Only Daniel,' Rachel laughed. 'I'm not married to James Bond – you can't get a ring on his finger. We’re really into normal life.'
Sam, 30, spoke about My Cousin Rachel: 'The ambiguity of the script is what I loved. My character [Philip] is a naïve young man. The beautiful thing is that you usually see a boy turning into a man.
'But for him, he believes he’s a man - but then he becomes a boy when Rachel walks into life. She calls him a little puppy dog.'
Sam also spoke of the pressures that men face, as well as women, in the spotlight.

'Men definitely have pressure, especially in today’s society with social media and TV commercials. Of course men feel pressure and insecurity and feel the need to be Chris Hemsworth. I want to be him but I'm not willing to go through all the work,' he said.
New father Sam spoke of his first child, who he welcomed in 2015.
'It’s the first time I’ve put someone before myself. Having a child creates another level for yourself, you are less selfish. You have to drop whatever happens and be there.'
My Cousin Rachel premiere's on Wednesday night in London and is released on Friday June 9.
