When age factor weighed Kristen Wiig down

Los Angeles, June 7 (IANS) Kristen Wiig has confessed she worried she was too old to make it as an actress in Hollywood when she moved to California.

The 40-year-old star, who shot to fame with her hit comedy "Bridesmaids" in 2011, was concerned she was too old to make it in the industry after realising that other aspiring actresses were far younger than her.

"When I first moved there, there was 'the dream', as there is for a lot of people. Then I got really scared," contactmusic.com quoted Wiig as saying.

She added: "I moved there and I was like, 'Oh, I don't have any experience,' and I was surrounded by people a lot younger than I am, a lot better looking than I am, who've been acting for a while, who've been taking classes, who already have agents and I just felt like, 'Oh, there's a lot of work I have to do.'"
