Kate Bosworth has opened up about her being a stepmother to her husband Michael Polish's daughter, saying it is "totally effortless".
The actress and her director husband met on the set of Big Sur in 2011 and married in 2013. He has a teenage daughter Jasper from a previous relationship.
Bosworth spoke about falling for Polish on the set of the movie, explaining: "There are so many people that hook up on movies, and you wonder if that's real, so we didn't go there. I think we were both experienced to know that if this was the real deal, we could wait to see what would happen.
"That's when it hit me, at about a million miles an hour - I almost fell off my chair. They always say, 'You know when you know,' and I had found that quite frustrating my whole life.
"I thought, yeah, but how do you really know? But it's true - he walked in and it hit me, like nothing I'd ever felt before... Meeting Michael honestly felt like coming home. It feels comfortable and secure but also exciting," she added.
The 32-year-old actress added of her new role as a stepmother: "If you had said to me at 25 that in just a couple of years I was going to be a stepmother, I never would have guessed.
"But because he [Polish] was the right match for me - and so was Jasper - it felt totally effortless."
