The 32-year-old actress - who shares two-year-old daughter Rose with her husband Romain Dauriac - revealed she has the same dream as her daughter: to become a Disney princess.

She said: "My daughter is still young. Right now I think we both share the dream that I will someday be a Disney princess, but it's probably not going to happen. I've been asking for that job for the past 20 years, and nobody has booked me."

The Hollywood star revealed what draws her to a film role.

She told New York Times newspaper:"I look for projects with filmmakers who want to make things that give the audience a fresh experience.

"I've always been very competitive, and a part of that is pushing your boundaries - taking a risk, and being able to live with the loss that comes with taking a risk."

The 'Captain America: Civil War' star also explained the rule she lives by when choosing her characters, which have included playing Kaa in the newest adaption of 'The Jungle Book' and the Black widow in 'Iron Man 2'.

She said: "I've always had the same principle for choosing roles, which is to try and make movies that I would pay to see. As I get older that's meant different things.

"I've never been a superhero-comic fan exactly. I did 'Iron Man 2' because I loved what [the director Jon] Favreau did with 'Iron Man.' It spoke to me as someone who was not a fan of that genre, and I saw a future in building a character with Marvel."
