She said: ‘The concept of family has made me an entirely much more emotional person. The empathy is heightened; the feelings about family are just like overflowing.
‘It’s made me a better actor for becoming, you know, becoming a mother.’
Sophie added that an important part of being an actor is bringing your real-life experiences to the roles you play.
She said: ‘As an actor, you know, the only way to become a really brilliant actor is to experience as much life as possible and to bring those experiences in, and so this is just another little part of life that I’m experiencing that I get to bring in and hopefully it helps my performance one way or another.’

Sophie and Joe were initially linked after they were seen getting affectionate at a 2016 concert in the Netherlands.
The singer was previously romantically involved with figures such as Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid before he met his now-wife.
The couple announced they had become engaged after a year of dating in October of 2017.
The couple shocked many when they held a wedding ceremony in Las Vegas in May of 2019.
The pair held a second wedding ceremony, which took place in France, later that year.
It was revealed that the X-Men: Apocalypse actress was pregnant with her first child in February of 2020.
