Asked if she related to her character at all Jennifer said: "Your own voice automatically comes out, because if you're being natural in your mind, it's going to come from your own voice.

"The things that my friends and family have said is the most 'me' moment is the times I'm running up behind him and yelling 'Hey!' Apparently that's a very familiar noise when you're around me, 'Hey!'

"That's what I've heard the most - that was me in that moment."

The 22-year-old actress revealed she had to have extra dance training for the film, because she was so terrible.
