Kristen Wiig has revealed that she got scared when she moved to LA and questioned being an actress.

The funny woman is back on the big screen later this year with Bridesmaids, which she also co-wrote, but it took her years to finally get her break.

Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph the actress said: "You get this idea that you've figured out your life, and you go for it, so I moved to LA and immediately got scared and partially changed my mind.

"I thought, what the hell am I doing? I had no experience, and this city is filled with people who have experience and who are trying and going out there and auditioning and taking classes and doing plays.

"And I was like, 'I took Acting 101. Hi, LA! I'm ready to be discovered!' Which didn't really happen."

Wiig has already enjoyed box office success this year as she teamed up with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in Paul

She has completed work on The Castle as well as Friends with Kids and is all set to once again lend her voice to How To Train Your Dragon 2.

Bridesmaids is released 24th June.
