Elisabeth Moss admits Angelina Jolie was ‘incredibly intimidating’ to work with on movie set

So, it turns out actors on film sets aren’t always buddy-buddy. Who knew?

In fact, actress Elisabeth Moss has spoken about what it was like on set of 1999 classic, Girl, Interrupted.

Speaking on the latest episode of Let’s Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa on Wednesday, the actress, who was 15 years old at the time, recalled bizarre atmosphere on set off camera.

She recalled that there were in fact ‘two camps’, split into the Winona Ryder Camp and Angelina Jolie camp, the two stars of the 1999 flick. She noted that the two brilliant actresses were in the earlier days of their career, both in their 20s, and couldn’t be more different.

She said: “We were shooting in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I was with all these movie stars. It was Winona Ryder! And Angelina Jolie!

“There were two camps. There was the Winona Ryder camp and the Angelina Jolie camp.”

"I was in the Winona Ryder camp and the Angelina Jolie camp was really cool. Those were the really cool girls.

She was asked by host Ripa whether she secretly wanted to shift camps to Jolie’s, before explaining how she felt about the star at the time.

"Did you say to her, "Why did you not let me into your camp?' " Ripa asked.

"No, I never brought it up. I've never brought it up, and I'm sure she would have no idea what I was talking about anyway," Moss answered.

"But I was definitely not cool enough to be in her camp. I've spoken to Angelina since then and she's lovely, but at the time it was just incredibly intimidating."

That is quite an adorable reflection all the same, but I can completely understand being intimidated by the powerhouse star that is Jolie.

As well as her feelings about the split camp, Moss also spoke about her role itself in the film. She portrayed a burn victim and would often forget she had the prosthetics on when speaking to other cast members.

She explained: “I would forget that I had [the prosthetics] on.

“You wouldn’t take it off at lunch or anything. I would go with Winona, because we became kind of good friends, I would go with her to the store or something. People on set thought that that was actually what I looked like.”

She added that as she wasn’t famous - not yet, anyway - many of her castmates assumed she simply was a burn victim. She noted it took them a long time to realize it wasn’t her real face. Seems like a great endorsement of the cosmetics department, if you ask me.
