Jessica Chastain had to take time off after filming 'Crimson Peak'.
The 38-year-old actress admits shooting the upcoming Gothic horror movie, in which she plays a sinister woman with a twisted secret, had a huge impact on her and she pulled out of another movie to get over it.
She said: "On set, I said to Tom [Hiddleston, her co-star], 'I don't understand why everyone tells me playing the villain is fun!' I was so depleted, I had to leave my next film and take time off.
"I'm just starting to feel like myself again. This is definitely the darkest character I've ever played."
Jessica has never been a huge fan of horror movies.
She explained to Us Weekly: "I saw 'The Exorcist' when I was young and I remember crawling into a fetal position... with a blanket over me. At that point, my mom knew, 'Oh, maybe she can't handle these movies.' But that was the first one that really took hold."
The star is planning "to look at some more positive characters to play" in the future, but has some happy memories from being on the set in Canada.
She said: "I had about 12 people fly to Toronto for the weekend for my birthday. We had dance parties, sang karaoke and played Ping-Pong! It was the best birthday ever."

Andrew Garfield felt "worthless" at school.
The '99 Homes' actor - who is dating Emma Stone - was "lost" as a teenager because he didn't want to follow an academic path, but found his calling when he appeared in a play for the first time.
He said: "I was quite lost as a teenager as I didn't really get along with the school system where all that was valued was academia.
"You were supposed to want to be a doctor or a lawyer or a businessman or you were regarded as worthless, so I didn't really fit in anywhere.
"And then I did a school play and suddenly felt a sense of joy and purpose - my whole body went 'Oh - I've arrived somewhere that feels like part of me and this is going to be part of my life.' "
The 32-year-old actor thinks anyone can be a success, no matter what career path they take, so long as they stay true to themselves.
He told HELLO! magazine: "To my mind, real success means being true to yourself.
"You might be an actor or a musician or a doctor or a lawyer - or you might be a waiter and make really great coffee.
"I think the work of all our lives is to find what we are supposed to do with ourselves and do it well and with pride."

Kate Winslet "would fix everything" on the set of 'Steve Jobs', according to director Danny Boyle.
The British filmmaker admits he couldn't have coped without the Oscar winner's support on the set of the new movie, in which she plays the late Apple co-founder's right-hand woman and marketing executive Joanna Hoffman, because she was always on hand to fix any problems.
He told PEOPLE magazine: "Kate is a wonderful partner on a film. She would fix everything - you know, extras, any problem, even people crying.
"She's hilarious and fun to hang out with. And she is not afraid to offer her input into a situation."
The 40-year-old actress' co-star Seth Rogen also appreciated having her on the set.
He explained: "She's hilarious ad fun to hang out with. And she is not afraid to offer her input into a situation."
But Kate, who has three children, Mia, 15, Joe, 11, and 22-month-old Bear, insists she tried not to interfere too much.
She said: "I don't go around sort of mothering everyone, but I make it my job to find out exactly what's going on all the time."

Rooney Mara finds Hollywood's gender pay gap "frustrating".
The 30-year-old actress - whose film credits include 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' and 'Pan' - has revealed she's disappointed with the industry's gender imbalance, but is also appreciative to be paid for the job she does.
Rooney said: "I've been in films where I've found out my male co-star got paid double what I got paid, and it's just a reality of the time that we live in.
"To me, it's frustrating, but at the same time, I'm just grateful to be getting paid at all for what I do."
Rooney also said it's important to keep a sense of perspective when thinking about the salary of a movie star.
She told the Guardian newspaper: "It's not fair, but I think about how much teachers are getting paid, or other people who are doing jobs that are so much more important than what I do, and it's kind of hard to complain about it."
Rooney said the way women are talked about is more problematic than what they're paid.
She reflected: "To me, the thing that's more unfair than the pay is the terminology that's used to describe actresses who have a point of view, and want to have a voice in their life and their career, and what they choose to do.
"I've been called horrible things. If a man was acting in the same way that I was acting, it would just be considered normal. To me, that's the thing I find so frustrating is calling women spoiled brats and bitches. We just want to have a voice in our life, and I don't think that's anything that shouldn't be encouraged in any human."

Hugh Jackman has admitted some of the 'X-Men' and 'Wolverine' movies have failed to match expectations.
The 47-year-old actor has starred as the fictional superhero in various Marvel movies and as he prepares to reprise the part for the final time, Hugh has also offered an honest assessment of the films.
Asked if he hesitates before returning to the part, the award-winning actor said: "If I was hesitating I wouldn't do it.
"I ... I don't think all the 'X-Men' and 'Wolverines' have been great, and I'm not going to pretend ... the intention was always there and everyone worked super-hard and all of that."
Despite this, Hugh is looking forward to his final appearance as Wolverine, promising fans that the new movie will be "fantastic".
He told the Guardian newspaper: "I do think we're in a really great place with the character. This next one, from what I'm hearing, is going to be fantastic.
"I would love to go out where I felt we were really doing something new and interesting and valid, and I don't know how much longer I can contribute to that. I'm sure there are other people who can."

Rachel Weisz has likened Colin Farrell to a "chunky Elvis".
The 45-year-old actress stars alongside the Hollywood heartthrob in the sci-fi comedy 'The Lobster', but has revealed she thinks of her Irish co-star in a different context to most moviegoers, after he piled on the pounds for the role of David.
She said: "He had to eat a lot of rice for the role. To me he's always going to be chunky Dave. He's got this incredible sweetness in the film, because you're not distracted by the Adonis. You can see his soul."
Asked whether Colin's appearance reminded her of Elvis Presley in his later years, Rachel told the Daily Mail newspaper: "Yes, the Las Vegas era. Colin's like chunky Elvis."
Meanwhile, Rachel also took issue with recent suggestions that there are a lack of strong roles for women, arguing that the debate is being looked at in the wrong way.
She reflected: "To me strong means you lift dumbbells. I don't think you'd say Tom Hardy or George Clooney's found a strong role. Well, you wouldn't! It's slightly weird, isn't it?
"If I play a body-builder one day - which I might! - then maybe that might be strong."

Carey Mulligan thinks British films are the best.
The 30-year-old actress believes there is an "amazing wealth of talent" in Britain, as well as "incredible actors and incredible directors", that puts the island ahead of its international rivals.
Asked to explain the best thing about British films, she said: "They're just better!
"There's just an amazing wealth of talent in Britain, there's incredible actors and incredible directors and cinematographers and art directors and costume designers.
"We've got a huge history here so there's so many stories to tell and we've got a really amazing multicultural society and so that has so many stories.
"I think we're really good at comedy and really good at real, honest drama as well."
Meanwhile, Carey also revealed the new things she's learned during the course of her acting career, which has included riding horses.
She told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I did learn to horse ride for 'Far From the Madding Crowd' which was great until I fell off quite badly, two weeks into filming and had really bad concussion for about six weeks.
"But I actually loved it, not the falling off-concussion bit, but I did love it, it was great."

Eve Hewson has landed the role of Maid Marian in 'Robin Hood: Origins'. The 24-year-old actress will star alongside 'Kingsman' and 'Legend' actor Taron Egerton in the upcoming Otto Bathurst-directed film, according to Deadline. While Hewson is negoti...

Colin Farrell was attracted to the "awkwardness" of 'The Lobster'.
The 39-year-old actor stars opposite Rachel Weisz in the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed sci-fi comedy, in which finding love is a matter of life of death, and has revealed that the unique nature of the script convinced him to accept the role.
He shared: "It was just so unusual, man. There's such an awkwardness to it, and such a lack of convention to it. And it's a very extreme world and very total world.
"It's both allegorical to things that have happened and exist in the world around us, and recognisable in its lack of conventionality.
"But essentially, I just found it funny and moving."
What's more, the Irish actor admitted the movie is the strangest he's ever been involved with.
Asked if he can imagine making a more unusual film, he told NME: "I don't think so, no."
Colin also revealed some of his own pals have watched the movie more than once in order to understand it.
He said: "Some of my friends went to see it a second time. Not because they loved it but because they were scratching their heads."
