Irish actor suggested she had been ‘treated like s**t’, but didn’t disclose film it happened on
The 33-year-old from Dublin explained that she still has a “love-hate relationship” with the job, which she feels “most actors” have.
She told Radio Times: “I had a bad experience on a film and I thought, what’s the point of this?
“I don’t want to put myself in a position where I’m being constantly treated like s**t. I think most actors have moments like that.
“It’s a love-hate relationship with the job.”
The actor did not reveal the title of the film project.

Hewson, who is the daughter of U2 frontman Bono, added that her father had given her very good advice about dealing with fame.
“I’ve gotten so much advice my whole life, it’s been wonderful,” she said.
“Someone once said to me that no matter who you are, if you get mega-famous, you’re going to be very weird for about seven years.
“You’ll start to think everything you do is important and it’s something you have to watch out for.”
However, she said she has not “really hit that kind of stardom yet”.
The Dublin actor is best known for Netflix supernatural thriller series Behind Her Eyes and the Apple TV+ dark comedy series Bad Sisters.
Hewson went on to say she became “so giddy” when her co-star Nicole Kidman arrived on set for the upcoming Netflix mystery drama series The Perfect Couple, which premieres on September 5.
She said: “It was incredible. I had no idea she was even part of the show.
“My agents kept talking about this Nicole person and I was like, ‘Nicole who?’.
“When she came on to set, we all got so giddy.

“It’s amazing to watch someone like that work. She’s been doing it for so long, but she’s constantly pushing herself.”
Hewson said she did not find it daunting to work with the Oscar-winning actress, adding that the cast “had such a good time dressing up and being awful”.
The upcoming series, about a body being found on a beach, also stars Wicklow actor Jack Reynor, Ray Donovan actor Liev Schreiber and The Watchers actor Dakota Fanning. The full interview can be read in the latest edition of the Radio Times.
