NEW YORK, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- The Bridge, Inglourious Basterds and National Treasure actress Diane Kruger says the mother she plays on the new drama, Little Disasters, needs help, but doesn't known how to ask for it following the birth of her third child.
"She is completely overwhelmed and shut into her own nightmare, right? She is incapable of addressing it, of naming what is wrong," Kruger, 49, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
"There's a lot of, to me anyways, relatable struggles within her that I can relate to. Obviously, I never lived them out to that extreme, but I think it's so scary when you become a parent and we don't talk about it enough," said the actress, who shares a 7-year-old daughter with partner Norman Reedus.
"I've had a couple of girlfriends in my circle who were dealing with issues like that and I remember not understanding what was going on and, looking in from the outside, it almost felt like my friends were being taken away from me. I couldn't understand what was wrong and, so, to get the opportunity to sort of try to understand and lean into that, it felt very cathartic."
Premiering Thursday on Paramount+, the six-episode British series is based on Sarah Vaughan's bestselling book.
