London, Mar 15 (ANI): English actress Emily Mortimer has claimed that she is 'a total charlatan' when it comes to acting, and that she is not qualified for it.

Mortimer, 38, who stars alongside actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Kingsley in the new flick 'Shutter Island', says she has never had a single acting lesson in her life.

I never went to acting school so I had nothing to draw on whatsoever, the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

I'm a total charlatan. I shouldn't be standing here at all. I don't deserve to be working in this industry.

I never had an acting lesson in my life, she added. (ANI)
