'Ides of March' Evan Rachel Wood: 'George Clooney's easy to work with'

Evan Rachel Wood has said that she loved working with her Ides of March director George Clooney.

The 24-year-old actress revealed that Clooney helped the Ides of March cast better understand their characters during the film's production.

"It was my first time [working with George], and he's just what you'd expect - or better, really. He's very easy going, easy to work with, and all about making a great film but also making it a great experience. He really takes care of everyone," Wood told Reuters.

Wood also explained that she felt a personal connection to the political intern that she plays in The Ides of March.

"We're very similar. I grew up in a very male-dominated world too. I always feel like one of the guys and very un-intimidated too," Wood explained.

"George and I discussed her a lot, and we wanted to show that she was in control of all her decisions. She wasn't manipulated, and I think she's one of the only honest characters in the whole movie.

"Everyone else is basically a liar, or out for themselves, and she's the one who ends up getting punished for her honesty. It's very sad."

Wood recently admitted that she doesn't understand why people are offended by political sex scandals.

The Ides of March is now playing in the US and opens on October 28 in the UK.
