She added: “We looked at the actual robot which was slightly disconcerting when people felt they had to animate the robot so they’d be poking it with a stick.
“I don’t think it’s that dissimilar from what you see in the movie.”
She revealed: “Jack had pre-recorded it all. Which I think is going to be his default setting henceforth.”
