Lily JamesLily James decorated her bedroom with pictures of Ryan Phillippe when she was a teenager.

The Pride and Prejudice and Zombies actress – who is in a relationship with Matt Smith – had a huge crush on the Cruel Intentions star and “really loved” him.

She said: “My first movie crush was Ryan Phillippe. He covered my bedroom walls. I didn’t have proper posters of him, I made collages using Microsoft Word – an A4 sheet that was 15 tiny pictures of Ryan Phillippe. I really loved him.”

The 26-year-old star was a presenter at the recent Golden Globe awards and shared a “surreal” moment backstage with Lady Gaga.

Asked when she last got starstruck, she said: “I had a little moment with Lady Gaga [at the Globes]. We were backstage because I was presenting and she held on to me at one point, which was amazing. She held my shoulders. I just smiled. It was very surreal.”

Though she was invited to the prestigious awards ceremony, Lily doesn’t feel particularly famous.

Ranking her fame on a scale of one to 10, she told Empire magazine: “Four? I sometimes do ridiculously crazy things. I went to the Golden Globes but I don’t really feel I’m at Globes level.”
