Yvonne Strahovski On Returning To 'Handmaid's Tale' After Welcoming Baby Boy: 'Most Challenging Moments'

Yvonne Strahovski is all smiles as she strikes a pose next to an adorable pup on the July digital cover of GLAMOUR UK!

The 36-year-old Handmaid’s Tale actress opens up about going back to work on season three of her hit Hulu series after giving birth to her baby boy with husband Tim Loden.

“They were already filming, around the time I was giving birth. And they were waiting for me to show up,” Yvonne told the mag. “It was definitely one of the hardest and most challenging moments ever in my entire career. I was running in between set and my trailer, breastfeeding on demand and doing scene work. It was crazy being all ‘miserable Serena’ and then coming in and having so much joy looking at my baby, and then going back into the scene and then coming back again and breastfeeding and being happy.”

Yvonne on her acceptance of her post-baby body having gone back to work so soon after giving birth: “I was so busy that I would forget about myself and two weeks would go by and I’d finally get to have a shower. And I’d just stop for a second and look in the mirror and go, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ve lost weight again.’ It was harder on the costume department than me!”

On her friendship with Elisabeth Moss and what they discuss as they spend almost all their time together on set: “[We are constantly] discussing the scenes and what we’re getting at for each episode, what we’re trying to achieve. The relationship [between Serena and Offred] is so fascinating as it allows us to take a deep dive into really unexplored areas of a relationship like that on screen.”
