Growing up I was pretty boring: Mia Wasikowska

London: Australian actress Mia Wasikowska says she used to be "boring" when she was a kid. She as a kid liked to fit in with the crowd.

The 23-year-old insists she never set herself apart from the crowd when she was younger and was always happy to fit in with her peers. "Growing up I was pretty boring, I was more of a follower than a leader; I didn`t like showing off," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Wasikowska as saying. The actress who began her film career aged just 15 only fell into acting when she suffered an injury that called a halt to her main passion, dance. "I was very shy and spent all my time dancing. I used to dance up to 35 hours a week; it was the place where I found passion, friendship and experiences. Acting replaced dancing when I had to quit for a foot injury," she added.. The ‘Jane Eyre’ star also admitted she likes knitting. "I love knitting. Oops, maybe I shouldn`t have said that, it`s not good for my image”, she added. IANS
