CATASTROPHE star Sharon Horgan has revealed she is now at a place in her career that she thought she might never reach.
The Irish actress and writer has achieved huge success with the hit series in which she also played the lead, and Divorce which she wrote for Sarah Jessica Parker.
She told the Irish Mirror: “It took many, many years for me to actually begin earning a living doing this.
“I think I was 31 before I was properly able to leave waitressing and working in shops, those kinds of jobs and actually make a living at it.
“I thought for a long time that it wasn’t going to happen, which is why I’m so busy right now – I’m still really hungry for it.”
Viewers in the US are now seeing Sharon in Military Wives, where she plays a singer in the army choir.
She added music is hugely important to her, even if her writing talents don’t extend to songwriting.
Sharon said: “I have a strong relationship with music and it’s a huge part of my life.
“When I’m working on TV shows, I always love working on the score. I was educated at a convent, so there was always a choir and if you were in the choir, you got time off to sing at the funerals of nuns.
“So I always felt it was a good idea to find my way into the choir. So I did that. I sang on a friends’ record in a band called The Charlatans, doing backing vocals, but that’s it, apart from my time in the choir.”
Her next movie Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is a full-on musical based on a West End production.
Sharon turns 50 in July and she’s not looking forward to it.
