Jim Sturgess has revealed he once worked with Oscar-nominated Canadian actress Ellen Page - and was thoroughly impressed. Check out his sweet comments on the lovely actress!

The British star of 21 says: “I actually did a film, Mouth To Mouth, with Ellen Page years and years ago, when she was about 15, so I knew her a long time ago. It was a no budget, indie flick and I don’t think I’ve even seen the film!”

The 26-year-old actor, who plays maths genius Ben Campbell in the new gambling drama, admits that he was impressed with the Juno star’s talent back then.

“I’m very proud of her. She was just incredible. You could tell that even then when she was 15,” Jim says.

“You knew she had this ridiculous head on her shoulders, an enormous amount of talent and passion for what she was doing. The film we made was a tough film to make, and she was the main part in that. It was tough. I remember she had to shave her head bald, which she did willingly.”

And he reveals he’s looking forward to the day they meet again. “I keep thinking our paths might cross, but they haven’t. I’ve seen our photos next to each other, but our paths haven’t crossed yet. I hope so, as it’ll be great to see her,” Jim adds.
