The actress, who shot to fame at the tender age of 10-years-old after appearing in the hit film Mermaids, also spoke about how her mother gives her good advice and keeps her grounded.
Describing the advice as a ‘huge gift’ Christina said: ‘She taught me how I should never feel rejected, because most of the time people have an idea of what they want before you ever walk in a room - it’s a blonde, it’s a redhead, whatever. It’s what fits for them; it’s not about you.’
