Sitting down for an exclusive chat with MailOnline, the Fifth Element star couldn't help but praise her daughter for her skill, admitting: 'She acted some people off the stage including me.'

Taking on yet another acting role, as the narrator of Toyota's The Night That Flows experience in London, the actress cast her mind back to filming Resident Evil :The Final Chapter.
Milla, who first gained fame as a model in the '90s, revealed that the experience of working with her first-born on the film was something truly special.
The actress, who plays the films' protagonist Alice, proudly recalled how her little girl slipped into a perfect British accent and nailed the complex language in the script as she took on the role of supercomputer the Red Queen.
'It was amazing watching Ever work because she loves acting, she takes it so seriously and she's exceptional,' the actress explained.

'For her to memorize that kind of extremely difficult, technical language to play a super computer, to have a British accent, she's really amazing.'
Talking about the potential pitfalls of having to double up as a parent on set, she said her little girl had been the consummate professional.
'I didn't even have to pull out the mom card,' Milla revealed. 'She was so on her best behaviour and so happy to be on set and be accepted as an equal. I mean, listen, she acted some people off the stage including me in my opinion.'

Despite Milla and her husband, the film's director and writer Paul W.S. Anderson, being 'nervous' when their child first asked to start acting at the age of five, Milla said her daughter has never given up on the dream.
After telling the youngster she had to learn to read 'really well' first, Ever soon proved her commitment to her parents.
However, Milla said Paul and herself would never push their daughter to continue with work if she lost her passion for it.
'I'm going to support her,' she said, 'I mean I'm not gonna' push her into it, but I'm definitely not gonna' like stop her from following her dreams especially if she's showing commitment and responsibility and passion for it.'
'She thinks I'm the best at everything': Admitting that it was 'humbling' to have Ever look up to her - the youngster has branded her mother 'cool' - Milla said she was enjoying the adoration whilst she can
She's not perfect: Laughing at the thought of being a 'cool mom', she said: 'It's humbling and very sad because at some point I'm going to have to be open with her about my failings'
The Ukrainian model and actress, who also has one-year-old daughter Dashiel with Paul, has had an action-packed career; having starred in the liked of Resident Evil, The Fifth Element and Zoolander.
And it seems that Milla isn't just a heroine on the screen to her fans, but also her children.
Admitting that it was 'humbling' to have Ever look up to her - the youngster has branded her mother 'cool' - Milla said she was enjoying the adoration whilst she can.
'My 20 month old definitely thinks I'm the best mum ever,' She admitted. 'My nine year old, it's not because of the movies, I mean we're a very, very connected family and she thinks I'm the best at everything.'

Zombies! Having developed the T-Virus, which reanimates dead tissue (which also unfortunately also causes the dead to rise), Alice - an Umbrella operative - wakes up with no memory and is forced to explore a secret facility full of the walking dead
Deal with it: The franchise has charted her journey through the horror: from surviving the zombie plague to dying, being cloned repeatedly, and gifted with super powers
Missing her already? Asked about the films ending, she said: 'I've played Alice for so many years and I love playing Alice so it's definitely hard to think I'll never play her again'
Laughing at the thought of being a 'cool mom', she said: 'It's humbling and very sad because at some point I'm going to have to be open with her about my failings.
'For the moment I'm the coolest mum in the world, not because of the movies but because I'm just there. I'm really interested in her.'

Change of pace: Milla was in London to participate in a very special immersive theatre experience, which saw Toyota drive a lucky few viewers around an immersive set in London
Creative: The seven-scene interactive production, The Night That Flows, was staged within the The Printworks in London, and saw 100 guests immersed in the story of one amazing fictional night as it unfolded across five European cities
The franchise has charted her journey through the horror: from surviving the zombie plague to dying, being cloned repeatedly, and gifted with super powers - veering slightly away from premise of the game series.
With the Resident Evil franchise having been wrapped up after 15 years, and many zombie rampages, Milla admitted that it was hard to say goodbye to Alice.
'I've played Alice for so many years and I love playing Alice so it's definitely hard to think I'll never play her again,' she admitted.
Looking back on the experience, she said: 'You know it's also been so overwhelming - the whole experience. We don't make a resident evil every year.
'Kind of three years has been our norm so I don't even know like if it's gonna' hit me for another couple of years. It's sad to say goodbye.'
Speaking out: The story, narrated throughout by Milla, centred around guests finding their perfect flow - taking inspiration from the design of the new Toyota C-HR
'Incredible': Speaking about the project the actress said: 'It really was incredible. From my perspective too it was such a creative evening and such an amazing journey
