'Dreamgirls' star Anika Noni Rose felt like a "schizo" shooting the musical film - because she couldn't remember what age she was.

The 34 year-old actress - who plays singer Lorrell Robinson in the Oscar nominated film - got very confused during filming because the scenes were not shot in chronological order.
She told BANG Showbiz: "I actually didn't approach it any differently to how I approach the stage. I think that as an actor you find your way to your character and create your character inside out. And the script was written so well, and filming was such a comfortable environment, that the oddest thing for me was dealing with the fact that things were not happening chronologically.
"So, you know, you get there at five in the morning and you're 17 years old, at lunch your 25, you have a snack you're 19! I made sure that above each scene I wrote the year and what age I was so I wasn't a schizo!"

I would feel the same to. I bet you had to go through a lot of hard work and stuff. Well my favorite charecter was Lorell. Anika played her so well there's no one else that could have played it like Anika. She was just so awesome.
