Kaya Scodelario says there were no 'airs or graces' with Jessica Biel when the pair worked together on The Truth About Emanuel.

Scodelario teamed up with the Hollywood actress for the first time in the Francesca Gregorini directed film, and admits that she was nervous about how it would be on set.

But the actress says that she had nothing to worry about as Biel was a real professional.

Speaking to Collider, the actress said: "I was really lucky, actually. Before I knew who had been cast, I was quite worried that they'd get a big celebrity who wouldn't connect with me, or wouldn't want to speak to me, or who was too busy worrying about what they looked like or what they were wearing.

"But the second I met Jessica, she was a real person, straight away. There were no airs or grace about her. She's very professional."

The Truth About Emanuel is the first big screen outing for Scodelario since Spike Island as the film is released in the U.S. this month.

We have recently seen Scodelario back on the small screen in Southcliffe, but she will be returning to movies later this year with The Maze Runner.

The Maze Runner is a big screen adaptation of the novel of the same name by James Dashner.

Wes Ball is in the director's chair while Will Poulter, Dylan O'Brien and Patricia Clarkson are also on board.
