So what made you actually pick up the clubs and learn how to play golf?
I was doing a movie called The Phantom, it was my first American movie, but the movie was shot in America and Thailand and Australia on the Gold Coast. And when I couldn’t go back to Wales when I had time off, I thought I’d just buy myself some cheap clubs and whack the day away. But my husband is a great golfer so we would play and I just love it.
But anyone who has played knows the game can be utterly frustrating. Have you ever wanted to throw your clubs in a lake? Yes! I’ve wanted to do just that. I’ve thought about rolling my bag into a lake. Sean Connery actually did that, you know. He threw his clubs away. I played with Sean when we were doing the movie Entrapment and then I saw him and said “How’s your golf game going, Sean?” And he said “I don’t play golf!” And he’d done just that, thrown his clubs away. But I haven’t quite gone to that stage yet – we’ll wait and see. - As told to Alex Jenkins
