The 28-year-old actress asked Director D.J. Caruso to allow her to so some hard-hitting action. She just wants her friends to get impressed. She plays Agent Becky Clearidge, a tech-savvy and smart. Her role allows her to act with Vin Diesel who plays the lead character.

Mirror reported that the ex-girlfriend of Ian Somerhalder told her friends with pride on Twitter that she convinced the director to allow her to have daredevil scenes. She added that she does not want her friends to laugh at her for doing no big thing on the movie which is hard action. She asked to be given a gun and do some death-defying actions.

She did get what she asked but ended up with some bruises on her thigh. The story revolves around Vin Diesel fresh from his isolation and wants to gather a team that will chase the villain Xiang (Yen) and its supporters.
