Discussing her eating habits with ELLE, she said: 'You know, I'm a carnivore. I really like to eat meat. I crave iron so I am definitely not the kind of person who you will find eating a salad. I like to keep it really balanced to give my body energy and also be healthy.'

While it may not look like it, Emily maintains that it's 'good' to indulge occasionally. She said: 'I wouldn't say I am the type of girl who craves Doritos but I definitely love a good cupcake sometimes.  Or a croissant in the morning. 'I think it is like really important to give yourself a break. And also just really think about where things are coming from what kind of ingredients are going into your body.'

I was eventually convinced by the director, who I really liked, to do it.
