Tamsin Greig has revealed that she often gets mistaken for a man.
Talking on tonight's (June 3) The Graham Norton Show, the Episodes star explained that people sometimes get her gender confused - even toddlers.
"It happens quite a lot," Greig explained. "We will go out for a meal and the waiter will say, 'And for you sir?'
"I was walking down a street once and there was a toddler who'd just learnt to name things. He was pointing and saying 'car' and 'tree' and 'birds' and then he pointed at me and said, 'man'."
Not only that, but Greig noted that while she's started getting noticed in the US since starring in Episodes, her name is proving more of a challenge to pronounce - and she's even been referred to as "Tamsin Grief".
She also spoke about starring alongside Frasier star Kelsey Grammer in new movie Breaking the Bank, now out in UK cinemas.
"I wasn't [intimidated] because he is an incredible gentleman, warm and appreciative, very supporting and very funny. And he was very close to tears all the time," Greig joked.
Grammer added: "I live that way. I cry at the drop of a hat."
On the show, Grammer also revealed he has a tattoo of his wife's name on an intimate part of his body.
The Graham Norton Show airs tonight (June 3) at 10.35pm on BBC One.
