"They're actually the most natural things in the world"

The Ides Of March actress Evan Rachel Wood believes that skeletons in politicians closets shouldn't be rattled by the media and that sex scandals are "natural".

She also revealed that the cast of the political thriller had a blast shooting the film and that was all thanks to director George Clooney.

"They're all different but I really like working with directors who are actors because you speak the same language. That's one of the reasons George was so amazing - he knew exactly what to say to get what he wanted. And he made sure everyone was having a great time. I think he knows that if your cast and crew are happy then you're going to get good work. That's actually really rare. But that's why I loved working with him," Wood said.

And when it came to prep she didn't go all method and hang out with political campaign staff, relying on information hand picked by Clooney instead.

"George gave us a lot of material and documentaries to watch that was more behind the scenes on the campaign trails with the press and the interns so that was my way into that world," she said.
