The 35-year-old star, who started out in the entertainment business with a tomboy image, confessed that one of the movie moments she finds most touching, is from a film about gay characters.

She says the final scene in Ang Lee’s “Brokeback Mountain”, when the main character opens his closet to reveal his shirt hung over the shirt of his dead lover, brings her to tears every time she watches it.
