Confirming it to the host Sean Evans, the actress stated, “True. He was snoring right in front of me… I was like, ‘Wow, I guess this is going to be a real hit movie’.”

“But it was,” she quipped, “So f–k you, Bill Clinton!”

The film, which was based on beloved Jane Austen novel, chronicles around a young woman in the 19th century England with intention of setting her friends up with potential spouses.

The movie also starred Toni Collette, Alan Cumming, Jeremy Northam, and Greta Scacchi.
