Dame Julie Walters has had a tough few years by anyone’s standards. In 2018, she was diagnosed with stage-3 bowel cancer – though she only made this public knowledge earlier this year.
Thankfully, the much-loved actor fought the deadly disease successfully, but the experience, coupled with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, has given her a new perspective. For Julie, life is now all about taking time for herself and her family, and easing up when it comes to work. She describes the life transition as ‘getting off the merry-go-round’. ‘That’s what I did in terms of work,’ she said. ‘Work was not what I needed.’ Nowadays, Julie, 70, is embracing the ageing process at home on her farm in the English countryside...
