Here are some excerpts from the interview which took place in the Merchant Hotel:

"Richard (Attenborough) came over to see me and we met in the Beverely Hills Hotel, where we really just clicked," she said.

"He told me that Shirely MacLaine had approved me to play her younger self in the movie and I was delighted to get the chance to work with Richard. He’s such a fantastic director, with so much wisdom, and a real gentleman too.

"It was also the first film role I’d been offered after the OC, so I was keen to do it. I really liked the script too, it’s very sweet and very emotional. I still cry when I watch it."

Mischa - whose grandfather hailed from Newry - also revealed that she had no problems doing the love scene in the movie, but admitted that hunky co-star Stephen Amell was more embarrassed than she was.

"I’ve no problems with love or sex scenes," she said.

"I was in the OC for three years and had a different boyfriend every week in the show.

"I’m very good at detaching myself from sex scenes. In the movie my character has to take the initiative. I think I felt a lot more comfortable than Stephen did."…

"I never came to Belfast to film my scenes for the movie, but while the film was being shot there my parents happened to be visiting," she said.

"They were in the lobby of their hotel when they bumped into Richard. It’s such a small world."

The actress, who starred in James Blunt’s video Goodbye My Lover, was coy about her private life, but laughed when asked if she’d ever had three suitors at the one time.

"Not that I can think of," she said.

"Anyway, I never talk about my private life."

Mischa, wearing a Mathew Williamson dress flown in by the designer himself, was relaxed and chatty following the Waterfront Hall premiere.

"I had a great night but I’m really looking forward to a break now," she said.

"I’ve done four movies in a row and I can’t wait to get home for Christmas."
