The Twilight star on terrible auditions, old lady acting and angry Chinese chefs…
_ The 28-year-old Swedish actress had a baptism of fire with her first film role straight out of drama school – crawling around caves being chased by blind carnivores in Neil Marshall’s genuinely creepy thriller The Descent.
