The British actress - who is currently starring in the West End show `The Misanthrope` where she portrays 22-year-old movie star Jennifer - has spoken about the similarities between her and her sexy on-stage persona, admitting they both have love life "problems".

She said: "Do I recognise being an extremely well-known young actress? Yes. And she`s in the middle of a world full of people who are quite a bit older than her. She?s having a problem with her boyfriend. No comment."

The 24-year-old beauty - who has been dating Rupert, 28, since 2005 when they met on the set of ?Pride and Prejudice`- also admitted she doesn?t view fame in a positive way because the definition has changed so much.

She explained: "If I`d thought about what fame meant when I was younger, it probably would have been for your name to be respected for something you do well. I don`t know that that is any longer what fame means. I don`t see it in its modern-day connotations as a particularly positive thing."
