Elisabeth Moss would be "completely f*****" if her acting career ended.
Elisabeth Moss
The 'Handmaid's Tale' star landed her first acting role when she was just seven years old and she's admitted she has no idea "how to do anything else" so would have reason to be worried if something suddenly happened and she couldn't work on stage or screen again.
Asked how she would cope if her acting career ended, she said: "I'd be f*****. I'd be completely f*****. I don't have any other skills. I have no formal education in anything. I didn't go to college or university. I don't know how to do anything else. I'd be royally screwed."
Elisabeth's parents are both musicians so were always supportive of her career aspirations and she thinks they'd have found it "weird" if she wanted a more conventional profession.
Speaking to David Tennant on the actor's podcast, she said: "I think it would've been weirder if I'd have wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer or an accountant. It was such an artists' household. My brother was a musician and is a musician. It was definitely very bohemian in that way."
Though the 38-year-old star acknowledged her childhood sounds "hippy dippy", she insisted it was "very normal".
She said: "[It was] very laidback. Everyone would be up till all hours of the night. There were instruments everywhere. Pianos, keyboards, drums, guitars. There were always instruments and people coming over at the holidays, picking up an instrument and playing. It sounds very hippy dippy now that you talk about it.
"It was really great. It was a real artistic upbringing. I think that me going into acting was only a little odd because no one else was acting in the family, but everyone was like, 'Alright, sure.'
"It was very normal. That wasn't happening all the time. We still watched TV and cartoons and went to school and road bikes and stuff like that."
