Actress Lily James says she learned to use a typewriter for her role in "Darkest Hour".

The 27-year-old actress spent months preparing to play Winston Churchill's secretary in Joe Wright's wartime drama opposite Gary Oldman as the legendary Prime Minister and is hoping her skills will come in useful if she is not able to make her career in films, reported Female First.

"I am actually playing a typist, so I've been learning to type on an old typewriter for the last few months. So if everything goes wrong with acting, I'm going to be a secretary," James said.
