The 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' actress lives in France with husband Romain Dauriac and their eight-month-old daughter Rose but likes to cook her favourite US dishes to give herself a "little taste of home".

She said: "My husband says he fell in love with me when I made him turkey meatloaf, which is so ridiculous and so American and my husband is French.

"But I think it was probably the American flavour that hooked him.

"I live in Paris so we eat French food a lot but I like to make American food when I'm there for a little taste of home. I know he loves it."

The 30-year-old actress is a big fan of historical drama 'The Knick' and is worried its star Clive Owen thinks she is a "freak" after she "geeked out" when she met him at a party.

She told Stylist magazine: "I'm waiting for the second season of 'The Knick'.

"Clive Owen is amazing. I totally geeked out when I saw him at a party recently. I was over-zealous.

"I'd met him before but this time I was like, 'I just have to tell you I love you, oh my God.'

"I was talking about the season and what's going to happen next. He must think I'm a freak."
