Jessica Biel "freaked out" when she started filming 'Easy Virtue'.

The actress admits she felt overwhelmed mixing with the British cast - which included Colin Firth, Kristin Scott Thomas and Ben Barnes - of the English period drama and worried she was out of her depth.

She said: "Stepping into the room for the read-through, I was freaking out. I'm the only American. I'm just sitting there feeling weird and out of place."
