Dianna Agron has admitted that she was shocked to discover that director Steven Spielberg knew who she was.
The Glee actress has landed a part in new movie I Am Number Four, which will be produced by Spielberg and directed by D.J. Caruso, alongside Alex Pettyfer.
Speaking to Collider she said: "This project kind of came full circle because in January I had met Steven Spielberg.
"He had said, 'You know, there is this awesome script and we're interested in you but you're not available because it shoots in October'. And I was just flabbergasted that he knew who I was."
And Agron reveals that at first she was worried that she would miss out on the movie due to her commitments to TV show Glee but was happy when the two projects found a way to work around one another.
"My manager, love her, was like, 'We can shoot for this', and I said, 'You're crazy. The shoot goes too long and it's not going to match with the break'.
"Luckily, I read the script, and I loved it. I met the director D.J. Caruso and we just bonded so quickly. Both the film and the show worked around each other.
"So I'm here because of very many things, people, luck, patience, and my manager being persistent."
