It was a strange, hard time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"DjAaGJVL\" style=\"display:none\">Turner is currently working on Tomb Raider, a new TV series based on the beloved video game series, and she admitted her character Lara Croft is very unlike Turner herself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"DjAaGJVL\" style=\"display:none\">She said: \u201c[Lara Croft] is so different from me and my personality \u2013 without giving too much away, there is an element of her that can be fairly toxic, but there is also an element of her that is so focused and determined, whereas I have ADHD and can\u2019t complete a task without forgetting about it and doing something else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"DjAaGJVL\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cI am a total worrier and neurotic which she obviously isn\u2019t, but we\u2019re both obsessed with history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"DjAaGJVL\" style=\"display:none\">Sophie dismissed the idea of taking a method acting approach to her work, insisting being a parent means it is impossible for her to fully absorb herself in a role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"DjAaGJVL\" style=\"display:none\">She said: \u201cKristen Stewart once said that only men are method actors.
