Jason Isaacs has revealed he was able to be with his mother in her final moments due to a chance disruption in his filming schedule.
The Harry Potter star’s mother Linda died in 2014 in Israel, where she had moved from the UK some years before, of complications related to cancer and dementia.
He told the Marie Curie podcast that by chance he had been filming a television series in the country but production was halted after rockets were fired across the border with the Gaza Strip.
