The Queen star spoke about a specific scene where the leading characters — Jacob and Cara Dutton — had to be intimate.

‘I was so excited, I can’t tell you,’ she continued. ‘I had to pretend to be cool. Don’t tell him. Promise me.’

She also gushed about the fondness she holds for the Star Wars vet.

‘He’s come to a place where he can be easy with other actors,’ she gushed. ‘It’s immensely generous and incredibly professional.

‘Not remotely spoiled movie star at all. I genuinely love him,’ she added before teasing: ‘If I wasn’t married…’
