I don't look very cool or sexy running. My friends get me to run for a bus to give themselves a good laugh!"Emily - who has a four-year-old son with husband Alessandro Nivola - also revealed she never thought she would star in a thriller because she didn't think she was cut out for such a physically exhausting role.She added to Details magazine: "I am pale, I smoke cigarettes and I'm allergic to physical activity. But just because I get cast as the sweet innocent doesn't mean that I necessarily am that way. When I was little, I didn't want to be an actress to delve into another consciousness - I wanted to wear fancy clothes and go to parties."
