Biel: 'Filming Texas Chainsaw was hard'

Rex Features

Jessica Biel has admitted that filming horror movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was one of her most difficult experiences.

The actress starred in the 2003 remake of the iconic slasher, which revolved around a group of college students being killed in rural Texas.

Speaking to The Independent, she said: "[It was] probably one of the hardest experiences for me, emotionally and creatively.

"It was intense because I was at this high level of freak-out for about a month. It was just so not this world."

The 27-year-old went on to say that she found making new project Planet 51 - an animated comedy about aliens - a "relief" in comparison.

"[It] was just fun. I wanted to do it because it was speaking to my inner child. Yes, I want to be an alien. Yes, I want to be green!"

Planet 51 is in cinemas in the US and released in the UK next month.
