According to Rachel not even stepdad Daniel Craig's stories from the James Bond set distract Henry from his own interests, saying how the youngster likes "telling his own stories" at home. During the interview former tomboy Rachel also revealed her latest on-screen role is one she had never dreamed of doing. "As a child in North London, it never crossed my mind that I would ever play the Wicked Witch of the East. I was kind of a tomboy climbing trees so it never crossed my mind, no." Rachel said when asked if the role had been a childhood fantasy of hers.

Speaking to host Lara Spencer, Rachel added that filming had been a "completely fun, magical experience" and that playing a "very evil character" in her first fantasy film was "extremely fun.
