The 27-year-old star – who has a two-year-old daughter Matilda with late actor Heath Ledger – revealed having a child has dramatically restricted her access to popular culture.

She said: “The downside is that my vocabulary has shrunk to the size of a pea. Since having a kid I just don’t have the same access to the world. I don’t see as many shows, I don’t go to many movies and I hardly read any books anymore. I’m lucky to make it through a book a month.”

The former Dawson’s Creek actress split from Heath – who tragically died of an accidental prescription drugs overdose on January 22 – last September, and revealed the experience taught her to take each day as it comes.

Speaking before Heath’s death, she told Wonderland magazine: “I don’t really have a concept of my 30s. Obviously so much has changed for me in the last few months that I don’t really have an idea of what my life is going to be.

“I thought I knew certain things and it turned out that I didn’t, so I don’t really try and anticipate so much anymore. I’m not making any bets on the future.”
