Hide Ad“I didn’t quite know what to think but Sacha is completely outrageous. Every day, he tried to get me to go naked. Every day!” she said.
“And I’m like, ‘Sacha, no! I told you, I’m a classy actress’.
“He just keeps pushing you and pushing you and pushing the comedy in every single scene, which is why his stuff is so out loud funny.

Hide AdRICKY WHITTLE has revealed how he learned to ride a horse especially for his role as Grounder Lincoln in The 100.
The former Hollyoaks hunk returns in the new series of the US show, which follows 100 chosen youngsters sent down from space station The Ark, to try and start a new life on a post-apocalyptic Earth.
Ricky revealed: “It is true I learned to ride for the show. It was great because I love horses.
“You get better shots if it’s you and not a stuntman on a horse. If they can see me rearing a horse, doing all these different things, then that’s more visually effective than a wide shot of someone else doing the work.”
