Bilson: 'Jackson was intimidating'

Rachel Bilson says she found meeting Jumper co-star Samuel L. Jackson for the first time intimidating.

Bilson said: "I was intimidated because he's the movie star Samuel L. Jackson that I've grown up on."

The actress plays the love interest to Hayden Christensen's character in the sci-fi action film and described her first day of shooting with Jackson as slightly surreal.

"I was really thrown into the movie and the first thing I had with him (Jackson) was him throwing me into a wall. You have to pinch yourself and say "is this really happening?".

Jumper is released in cinemas today.
