Sherlock Holmes star taps into her Gypsy roots

Noomi is the daughter of Swedish actress Nina Norén and a Spanish flamenco singer of Gypsy descent.

She said to peacefm of her role that,"She is something that I have inside me that I've wanted to look more deeply into for many years. So when this came to me I was like, 'Yes, I've been waiting to have a reason to open up those things."

She is set to play a French gypsy in the forthcoming movie which will hit U.S cinemas in December 2011.
