The British actress is working her way to the top, starring alongside Carey Mulligan in Far From the Madding Crowd and bagging a part in sci-fi flick The Lobster, which also stars Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz.
She makes no secret of her desire to make it big, insisting that anyone who says otherwise isn't telling the whole truth.
"Any actor who says they wouldn't want to do Hollywood may be kidding themselves a little bit," she explained to British newspaper Metro. "It's so glamorous. It would be wonderful to have that kind of career."
One of her biggest movies to date is 2011's Hanna, where she starred alongside Saoirse Ronan. It was her humour that ultimately won over director Joe Wright and led him to cast her as the chatty Sophie.
"There was a lot of humour in the script but I say things and don't realise how they come out and people find it quite funny," she smiled. "We would be having dinner and Joe just listened and would say I should use it in the scene."
In Far From the Madding Crowd she gets to embrace the cheeky Liddy, who grows in confidence as she takes on responsibility as her mistress' right-hand woman.
Based on Thomas Hardy's classic novel, it was filmed in Dorset, England, where the weather was typically British.
"The first few weeks we had another great Indian summer," she recalled. "Then the weather just turned terrible and it rained but that just brought everybody close together. We'd play games on set."
