He actually plays his own relative: Catesby is his real-life ancestor! Anne is a really interesting, strong woman for her times. ‘Kit was amazing,’ she enthuses, ‘super smart. (Fawkes just guarded the explosives) and Liv as Anne Vaux, a Catholic baron’s daughter who fears the plan is likely to backfire.

Set to be one of the TV events of the autumn, it recounts the story of the 1605 Catholic plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament, now synonymous with Guy Fawkes and Bonfire Night. It feels like a big new adventure.’Īdding to the sense of adventure is the fact that Liv spent her first British winter commuting between London and Leeds, where she was filming the three-part BBC period drama Gunpowder. We are renting now, but have bought somewhere a bit closer to the centre of town, which I am doing up. The greatest luxury is the simple things: being home together at weekends, taking the boys to the park. ‘David and I have these sweet moments where we feel so grateful and happy. The Tyler-Gardner blended family – which includes Liv’s son Milo, 12, from her marriage to British musician Royston Langdon of the rock band Spacehog, and Gardner’s son, Gray, ten, with Hollyoaks actress (and loo-roll heiress) Davinia Taylor – settled permanently in London’s Primrose Hill a year ago, having previously vacillated between there and Liv’s native New York. But, hey,’ she says, scanning the drinks menu and noting that as smoothies and cocktails are equally bad in this respect, we might as well go for cocktails – ‘Let’s order a glass of sugar! And some snacky bowls, too.’ Despite this form of diabetes only lasting during pregnancy, and although the fructose in fruit is less ‘bad’ than other sugars, she ‘still can’t even look at fruit without thinking about what too much of it does to the body. ‘Everyone wants to know about the Beckhams – and Kate,’ she sighs ruefully, before returning to the menu and explaining that because she had gestational diabetes when pregnant with Lula she ‘learned a lot about sugar’. Best friends with Kate Moss she may be – the supermodel introduced Liv to David and recently attended her 40th birthday party – but she makes me feel as though there’s nothing she’d rather do than spend the afternoon hanging out in a café with me. The daughter of Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler and model, singer and groupie Bebe Buell, Liv (who for the first few years of her life believed her father to be another rocker, Todd Rundgren) is refreshingly grounded. Liv has the sort of ethereal, otherworldly looks that light up a screen – and famously did so in the 1990s coming-of-age film Stealing Beauty, in which she made her name at 19, and as the half-elven Arwen in The Lord of the Rings. This may be because the US actress is loved-up with David Beckham’s best mate, football agent David Gardner, and enjoying the second flush of motherhood: she and David have Sailor, two, and Lula, one, together, as well as an older son each. Liv Tyler is glowing when she turns up for our chat, the perfect mix of off-duty mum and North London cool. It’s Saturday afternoon in London’s Primrose Hill and I am sitting with a rock chick, dithering over whether to order cocktails or smoothies. Now US actress Liv Tyler is perfecting her English credentials (and swotting up on the nation’s history) in the BBC’s big new autumn drama Gunpowder
She’s happily settled with a Brit in North London and best friends with Kate Moss and the Beckhams.
