The 29-year-old actress – who is currently starring in French comedy Priceless – quickly realised she wasn’t particularly proficient at playing the wood instrument, but discovered her performance attracted an unusual
audience.

She said: “I knew that I didn’t have a career in the oboe, so that’s why I gave it up. I did have one success though. I was in the kitchen of my parents’ house and I was giving them a little concert. I think they were
devastated by my level of playing the oboe.

“But then I noticed that the cows in the field next to my house started coming towards me. So I now know I can charm cows with my oboe!”

Audrey also revealed how she keeps her enviable figure in shape. She added to BBC Radio 1: “Tuna with pasta and mayonnaise – that is the secret behind my diet!”
