Speaking on tonight's Graham Norton show, she confesses: "My breasts are not as pointy as the first Lara."

That didn't stop the Danish Girl actress from fulfilling her mission to play out the role she had dreamed of since childhood.

She said: "I had a clear vision of how I wanted to play her.

"I was a huge fan as a kid and whilst I was too scared to play the games when I was ten, I learnt all her moves.”

Quizzed on training up for the role, The Light Between Oceans actress explained: “It took about four months to get in shape and I had never lifted a thing with my arms before – I did ballet – and the trainer told me I was really underdeveloped.

“I thought the muscles would stay forever, but after three weeks of no training I lost it all.”

The 29-year-old also revealed that she left her Oscar for The Danish Girl in LA because it was “too heavy to bring home”.

She laughed: “I only had one night with him. I decided he was too heavy to bring home in my hand luggage so my friend’s daughter has him in her bedroom.

Alicia became a household name in 2015 when she gained global recognition for her role as Gerda Wegener in The Danish Girl -  which won her an Oscar.

Eddie Redmayne played her husband, artist Einar Wegneer, who was one of the earliest known recipients of gender reassignment surgery.

Alicia has also starred in Jason Bourne, Testament Of Youth, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

The Swedish actress is married to actor Michael Fassbender.

The couple fell in love while filming The Light Between Oceans almost two years ago and got married in a top secret ceremony in Ibiza with close friends and family last October.
