For her, acting was just something she kind of wandered into, according to theDaily Mail.

“My first ambition was to be a nun,” she told the publication in 2011.

So I soon went off that idea.

Then I wanted to be an opera singer and an astronaut.

Acting is just something I drifted into," she revealed.
