Carey Mulligan 'grew up in hotels'

Carey Mulligan has revealed that she grew up living in hotels.

The An Education star lived in luxury resorts across Europe because her father worked for an international hotel chain, Contactmusic reports.

"Until I was eight we lived in hotels," Mulligan explained. "So I lived in The Mayfair when I was first born in London, then... we moved to Germany and lived there for a bit.

"It probably gave me a strange perception of life. We finally got a house when I was eight and we got a key, a proper key, and I was like, 'Why don't we just swipe things [like a hotel key card]?'"

However, Mulligan added that she felt like she belonged in the hotels she stayed in.

She joked: "I'd sit in the maid's dirty laundry trolley and we were part of the hotel."
