Ireland\u2019s award-winning actress Jessie Buckley has spoken of the joy and perspective that motherhood has brought her.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood star from Co Kerry gave birth to a daughter last year.<\/p>\n

Buckley recently picked up the leading actress Bafta award for her portrayal of William Shakespeare\u2019s wife Agnes Hathaway, historically known as Anne, in Chloe Zhao\u2019s film adaptation of Hamnet and has been nominated for an Oscar for the same performance.<\/p>\n

\"TheJessie Buckley will appear as the Bride of Frankenstein in The Bride! (Ian West\/PA)<\/p>\n

In her latest role, the 36-year-old plays the Bride of Frankenstein in Maggie Gyllenhaal\u2019s horror film The Bride!.<\/p>\n

Christian Bale stars as Frankenstein in the movie, which also features Peter Sarsgaard, Jake Gyllenhaal and Penelope Cruz.<\/p>\n

It is inspired by the 1935 original, The Bride Of Frankenstein.<\/p>\n

Buckley appeared alongside Maggie Gyllenhaal on The Late Late Show on RT\u00c9 on Friday night to talk about the movie.<\/p>\n

In the pre-recorded interview, the actress, who has not revealed the name of her baby in public, was asked how motherhood is treating her.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, I love it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel so grateful to have her in my life. And it\u2019s the best way to wake up in the morning. It\u2019s the best way to go to bed at night. It puts everything into perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know it kind of grounds you, and I\u2019m very lucky to do what I love as a woman, and I\u2019m very lucky to love as a mother, and that\u2019s just an absolute gift to get to recognise myself in both of those things beside each other in this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buckley was asked about the added pressures on her time now that she is a mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve ever had that much time anyway,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not a kind of person that\u2019s lying around waiting for something to happen. I love life. Like, I need life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need the world. I need my mind to be engaged and it\u2019s so brilliant for it to be engaged in so many capacities at this time. Sometimes it\u2019s really tiring. And I some mornings wake up and go \u2018I do not know who I am or where I am\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd, luckily, I have incredible people around me that, yeah, can hold that place as well, because being a new mom is hard sometimes, like, you know, it\u2019s no joke to be born. And, as a new mom, you\u2019re kind of being born in a new identity, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I definitely feel that in every capacity of my life right now, and, in some ways, it\u2019s made me really alert to my life and to her life and what we\u2019re going to do together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buckley also revealed that her parents, three sisters and one brother are all set to travel to Los Angeles for the Academy Awards next month.<\/p>\n

The Bride! will be released in cinemas in Ireland from March 6th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ireland\u2019s award-winning actress Jessie Buckley has spoken of the joy and perspective that motherhood has brought her.
