Amy Huberman: ‘Power couple? I spend half the day just lying on the couch’

Amy Huberman on family life, slagging husband Brian O’Driscoll and the first Christmas without her beloved DadAmy Huberman: I always call myself an ‘accidental actor’ or an ‘accidental writer’, and I’ve been winging it since then.

“It seemed to happen very quick,” she nods. “I remember thinking ‘How am I gonna do my thesis when I’m filming?’ But it is literally like being bitten by the bug: I knew this was for me. I loved it. I always call myself an ‘accidental actor’ or an ‘accidental writer’, and I’ve been winging it since then.” Then she whispers, her eyes shifting from side to side. “Just don’t tell anyone.”

Writing a children's’ book was “always one of those ‘maybe-down-the-line’ things”, she says, adding that the act of writing has always been a way to “gain a bit of control when things are out of control”. In other words, the perfect activity for a pandemic. And like anything she has written in the past, it was important to include humour in the story.

We had our different traditions because my dad was Jewish. His friends celebrated Hanukkah so I always felt like we got the double gifting. It was like a mini-Christmas at the beginning of December

Trying to stay relevant. Pair of them are their own biggest fans.
