    Kelly Reilly's success "hasn't happened overnight"

    The 47-year-old actress has starred in a host of big-budget productions during her career, including 'True Detective', 'Yellowstone' and 'Sherlock Holmes' - but Kelly feels she's been forced to earn all of her recent success


    Asked how it feels to be an in-demand leading lady, Kelly told the BBC: "Well, I'm 47 years old, it hasn't happened overnight, you know. So it's not like I'm getting whiplash.

    "I have been a working actor for 30 years. It's not lost on me that there's a unicorn of shows that have such success worldwide and a character that has had this amount of attention or appeal.

    "But I treat it at arm's length. I don't spend too much time thinking about it. I have a very normal life. It's very important to me that my life is normal. Nothing has changed, other than I'm really busy.

    "I don't get to sleep at home very often, which is annoying because I love home!"

    Kelly plays Beth Dutton in 'Yellowstone' and she "didn't do any press" before the show began, because she wanted people to believe in her character.

    Kelly shared: "People talk to me as if Beth is real. We all talk about Beth like she's a real-life person.

    "I'm always going to be a bit of a let down when people meet me. I go into the local bakery and the lady is like, 'I'd love to drink with you.'

    "I know what she means - she wants to drink with Beth. People want to feel part of that energy ... someone so connected with their primal self.

    "And we're so disconnected. We're all on our phones, on social media. It is like it doesn't happen if someone doesn't take a picture of it. Beth is the opposite of that. She is just so alive."
