After this she attended the prestigious theater and arts training school in Paris which then led to roles in the musical ‘Summer Holiday’ and ‘Cosi’.
Her major breakthrough came in 2005 when she won the Breakthrough Performance Award at the MTV movie awards for her role in ‘Wedding Crashers’ alongside Vince Vaughan and Owen Wilson. Since then she has gone on to have parts in many movies.
