The 'Danish Girl' star was the lead woman in four huge movies but she wasn't in any other scenes with a woman and now she intends to make sure that is not the case going into the future with her own producing projects.

She said: "I looked back and I did four films in a row, where I was a lead in all of them, but there wasn't a single scene where I was with another woman. Which is nuts, really.

"So I really want to make sure that I always have that in the back of my mind [when I am producing projects]."

The 28-year-old Swedish actress feels Hollywood has already come on leaps and bounds in ironing about sexism issues in the industry.

She added: "I started making films in English seven years ago and I think even now there are a lot more options out there. People are talking more about it and people are more aware, and I think that is the way towards change."

Meanwhile, Alicia also revealed she loves to make movies that are "challenging".

She told the Hollywood Reporter magazine: "European art house is where I come from, but I can't tell you how many times I saw 'Indiana Jones' and 'The Mummy' growing up. I love to do challenging art, but that doesn't take away from wanting to be part of films that I really enjoy."
