But she said that on reading the script, she didn’t think she was in with a a chance of landing the role. She told Metro: “I thought, ‘They’ll never let me play that’. I’ve been in An Education and Never Let Me Go. She’s so far removed from anything I’ve done.”

Describing her first meeting with writer/director McQueen, Mulligan added: “Steve kept trying to leave the meeting and I sat him back on his chair and said, ‘What do I need to do to get this job?’ I told him I felt a passionate desire to play the part.”

On her character, the sister of Michael Fassbender’s sex addict Brandon, she continued: “She was really exciting. Getting to play an extrovert and exhi*****nist was a relief.”
