She reveals, “It was very hard for me. I read the script and I couldn’t put it down, but I didn’t want to do it. I didn’t want to touch something that had to do with children being kidnapped. It scared me because anything happening to my kids is my biggest fear.
“But then I found myself telling Brad the story and thinking about this woman and what she went through.
“Throughout the filming I was very emotional. I was hugging my children more than ever and I wanted to know where they were at all times. I always had one of them on set and it was a hard thing to do – facing my biggest nightmare.
“I’m a mom so it doesn’t take much to imagine these things. I don’t think I would have played this role with as much emotion and understanding if I wasn’t a mother.”
Well this movie is surely worth a watch.
