    Mia Goth used to steal all her clothes

    The Frankenstein actress admitted there was a time when she was a teenager that she regularly shoplifted but eventually stopped after she got caught one day.


    Asked if she has any interesting scars, she told W magazine: "I do. When I was about 14, I stole a meatball sandwich from Costa, a café in London, and when I put it in my oven to heat it up, I got a scar.

    "I stole so much stuff. There was a time when everything I was wearing-my headband, earrings, tights, shoes, and everything in between-was stolen. But then I got caught stealing perfume, and I stopped."

    The 32-year-old actress also confessed to lying about "pretty much anything" in order to land her dream roles.

    She said: "I will lie about pretty much anything if it means I'm going to get a job that I want. If you need me to horseback ride, speak Chinese, and tap-dance - funnily enough, those are lifelong passions of mine."

    Mia has a three-year-old daughter with Shia LeBeouf and the tot helped to inspire her performance in Frankenstein after she saw how the little girl reacted when co-star Jacob Elordi walked by in full prosthetics as the Creature.

    She recalled: "He walked past, and my daughter ran up to him. She wasn't scared at all, just curious.

    "What struck me was how intrigued she was by him. There was no fear.

    "That interaction ended up informing, a little bit, my approach to Elizabeth and how she meets the Creature."

    The Susperia star "really wants" to see a ghost but thinks she needs to try less hard in order to get a visit from a spectre.

    Asked if she believes in ghosts, she said: "I do. I really want to see a ghost. Every time someone tells me, 'There's a ghost in here', I try to stay up late and see what happens. Nothing ever happens. Maybe I have to act as though I don't want to see one, and then one will appear."

    Mia is "obsessed" with Espresso hitmaker Sabrina Carpenter.

    She said: "I went to SNL a couple weeks ago, and Sabrina Carpenter was the host. I am obsessed! I felt like I was six years old again. I was looking at Sabrina and I thought to myself, I want to be five foot two and a platinum blonde, singing into my hairbrush."
