A brave face: British actress Rebecca Hall revealed that she suffers from bouts of shyness even during everyday situations
Speaking to InStyle magazine she said: 'I get attacks of shyness when I'm paying for things in shops.
'That's weird. I was painfully shy as a child. Painfully. To the point where my parents would say, 'Have you made any friends yet?''
Although the 32-year-old claimed to have gotten over her shyness she confessed that she still suffers from it from time to time.
She told the magazine: 'But you get over it, don't you? Then it comes back and haunts you at weird times. Rooting for change in my pocket in the newsagent, that's when I get it.'

Although her shyness can be at times crippling, performing her talents is always something what she wanted to do.
The full interview is in the May issue of InStyle magazine
She told the magazine: 'I'm really curious about people. I can't think of many jobs that let me explore that.
'I wanted to be an artist for quite a long time. Then a musician. I still would love to be a musician â€" a jazz pianist â€" if I was anywhere near disciplined but I can't do it for s**t.
'I'm probably a little bit 'jack of all trades, master of none.'
During a rather racy photoshoot with Instyle magazine, Rachel also discussed how she is now text buddies with screen legend Robert Downey Jr.
The two stars appear side by side in this year's blockbuster Iron Man 3, and after playing Maya Hansen in the superhero movie they formed a close bond.
When asked about what Downey Jr was like as a person she said: 'Everything you expect him to be and a little bit more really. His brain works at 100mph.
Rachel and Robert now text each other 'all the time' and she even has a nickname for him. She will text him and say 'What’s up, RDJ? A lot of people call him that.'
Iron Man 3 may be set to be a commercial success but working with talented actors was what attracted her to the movie.
She said: 'It's a big movie but has quality actors and I was genuinely fascinated by the idea of working with Robert Downey Jr.'
