    Michelle Pfeiffer thinks social situations are "torture"

    The 59-year-old actress has admitted she battles with anxiety, especially when she attends big events because she finds the constant questioning is like being interviewed and leaves her feeling utterly "exhausted" afterwards.


    Speaking to Net-A-Porter's The Edit, the 'Scarface' star said: "A lot of social situations are torture for me. Sometimes when you're in a social situation where you don't know people really well, it feels a little like you're being interviewed all the time. It's understandable, but somewhat exhausting."

    And the movie legend was even left feeling overwhelmed whilst filming 'Murder On The Orient Express' because she feared being "trapped" on a train for an entire day.

    She explained: "I was slightly anxious about being trapped on the train all day long."

    And the blonde-haired star has admitted she also felt "intimated" working with Sir Kenneth Branagh, Johnny Depp, Daisy Ridley and Dame Judi Dench because she desperately wanted to "impress" her co-stars.

    She explained: "On 'Murder On The Orient Express' working in front of all of you, I found that intimidating. I had to really fight against wanting to play it safe and wanting to impress everyone."

    And Michelle needed to take a "few hours" out of filming to enjoy some "private time" .

    She explained: "I need to have my own private time and space to gather myself. I can sit for hours just doing nothing, by myself."

    Hwoever, Michelle had no need to be apprehensive about working with fellow movie legends, as she has found more "accomplished" stars are "more gracious" to the people they work with, especially Judi because she "radiates warmth".

    Michelle said: "In my experience, the more accomplished and, I guess, famous the actor was, the more gracious they were to everyone around them, and the more they went out of their way to put people at ease and make people feel comfortable. Like when I met Judi Dench - she just radiates this warmth."

    Meanwhile, the 'Grease 2' star has admitted whenever she reflects on her career she is filled with regret and wished she had done certain projects "differently".

    She said: "I look back at everything and wish I'd done it differently. I'll see a film - which is becoming harder and harder for me - but I'll see it once it's finished and I'm gearing up to do press and I need to know what I'm talking about, then I never watch it again. If I'm scrolling the television and [a film I'm in] is on the guide, I can't get by it quick enough."
