Speaking to Access Hollywood, she joked:
“For the record, when I took this job, in 2011, I made one stipulation. That’s it.
“I swear to God, I said, ‘I will not do this film if you will not guarantee me one thing. You have to guarantee me there will be no love triangle’.”
She added:
“And there wasn’t. For the whole time I shot. For a year of shooting there was no love triangle… And then, I came back for re-shoots in 2012 and they were like, ‘Well, we made a couple of alterations to some scenes and we added a couple more scenes’.
“And all of a sudden manifested a love triangle before my very eyes and the film was shot, and I’m in and there’s no getting out and there was no escaping it.”
The Desolation of Smaug is out in UK and US cinemas now.
