Abigail Breslin

Abigail Breslin says she was intimidated working with Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts.

Breslin teams up with Roberts and Streep for the first time in August: Osage County - where she plays daughter and granddaughter.

And while she says everything was fine once she settled in, she was initially nervous.

Speaking to the Independent newspaper, the actress said: "It was pretty intimidating, very nerve-racking at first.

"They're like people that you've looked up to your whole life and then you have to, like, sit around a table and act with them.

"But once I'd met everybody and realised that they were so nice and really welcoming and everything, it was much easier. They were really good to me."

August: Osage Country is a big screen adaptation of the play by Tracy Letts and brings together an all-star ensemble cast.

Breslin, Streep and Roberts are joined by Ewan McGregor, Chris Cooper, Juliette Lewis, Sam Shepard, Benedict Cumberbatch and Dermot Mulroney.

We are going to be seeing plenty of Breslin on the big screen this year, as she has completed work on Wicked Blood, Perfect Sister, Maggie and Final Girl.

August: Osage Country is released 24th January.
