"I was so scared of Tom. He was a very dominant individual. He tries super hard to be a nice person. But the pressure. He takes on a lot."

Thandie detailed how they struggled with filming a scene in Spain, in which they battled to get the perfect take of 'a poorly-written scene'.

She explained: "So this scene was happening, and Tom was not happy with what I was doing because I had the s**ttiest lines, and he gets so frustrated".

"It was wonderful. I mean, Tom — at least in my experience with him — I've never met a more enthusiastic, creative, and supportive person. He has that energy and to feel that energy directed towards you about you, it's like a drug. It's wonderful."

"He was so excited about the script and so complimentary and really just pointed out scenes in the movie that he felt we should bring out more. And he was totally right."

The comments about Tom come after Thandie revealed she is finally enjoying the kind of career boost she expected to have in her twenties.
