Is Downton Abbey's Lily James a Big Tomboy?

Hold on to your hats, ladies -- Downton Abbey starlet Lily James has no idea how beautiful she is. Lily is starring in the upcoming remake of Cinderella, and during her latest press tour admits that she flew to the states to initially audition for a role as Cinderella's ugly step-sister. When producers changed their minds sand asked her to read for Cinderella, she was thrilled, but she said she couldn't quite believe it. 

And this is when the reveal came. While Lily loved the flowing dresses of Cinderella, she loved it because it gave her an opportunity to be so different than she is in real life. "I can't remember the last time I went shopping, I hate it. I tend to wear Doc Martens, ripped jeans, and a jumper. Done.
