Mia Goth has shared a touching behind-the-scenes moment involving her daughter and co-star Jacob Elordi.

The actress, who shares a three-year-old daughter with Shia LaBeouf, revealed in a new interview with W Magazine that the child helped inspire her performance in Frankenstein.

Goth recalled a moment when Elordi walked past in full prosthetics as the "Creature" and her daughter's reaction surprised her.

"He walked past, and my daughter ran up to him," Goth said. 

"She wasn't scared at all, just curious.”

"What struck me was how intrigued she was by him. There was no fear," she added.

That interaction seemingly stayed with Goth throughout filming. 

"That interaction ended up informing, a little bit, my approach to Elizabeth and how she meets the Creature," she explained.

Elsewhere in the interview, Goth admitted she firmly believes in ghosts and is eager to encounter one herself.

"I do. I really want to see a ghost," she said.

"Every time someone tells me, 'There's a ghost in here,’ I try to stay up late and see what happens. Nothing ever happens," Goth joked, adding that perhaps trying less might finally bring a supernatural visitor.
