Saldana, 34, who shared screen space with Spears in 2002 film 'Crossroads', said although the movie was panned by a majority of critics, but it opened her eyes for the pop star, reported the Huffington Post.
"Britney's a very beautiful human being. After I worked with her, I realized that there was a reason why she was the most popular pop artist over so many other pop artists at that time who were more talented, had better voices. And it was because of her heart, her soul," she said.
