Carey Mulligan has revealed that she struggled playing an American in her new movie Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps comes thirteen years after the original, which was released back in 1987, and sees Oliver Stone return to the director's chair.
And Mulligan has admitted that Stone tried to push her to be more American and leave her Englishness behind.
Speaking to Time Out Film the actress said: "He was always trying to make me more American, 'Go to a baseball game, you need to be more American.'
"He wanted me to watch football games and eat hot dogs. He said it a couple of times, 'Don't be so English,' meaning my sensibility, I think, not my accent."
But Stone was not the filmmaker that Mulligan was expecting and it was not as 'crazy' a shoot as she was expecting.
"He was very insightful and calm, which I wasn't expecting. I think I expected a chaotic set and a manic American. I'd never done a big American film; I'd done tiny roles in Michael Mann and Jim Sheridan films, so I was expecting something crazy.
"But it was the same, just slightly larger and I had a trailer for the first time."
Mulligan will be back on the big screen in the new year when she stars alongside Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield for Never Let Me Go, which is already getting the critics excited.
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is out now.
