Whilst she may look effortlessly sultry in the snaps, Emma recently revealed that it was tough playing the role.   

She told MailOnline: 'I'm not very sexy at all but the director (Timothy Woodward Jr.) wanted the character to be strong and sexy.

'I have only seen it once and I was like "oh my god, I feel so awkward." I'm just a big goof. I'm not at all sexy in any way. When you play a character you have to own it.'
