Kaya Scodelario has gone far from her stint as Effy Stonem in "Skins." The British actress is set to star in two major films, "

The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials" and the fifth installment of "Pirates of the Carribean." Apart from the roles she portrays, however, there are also fascinating tidbits about the actress\' life fans should learn about. Here they are.

"My mum is Brazilian and very proud," Kaya Scodelario told Interview magazine. "I\'d love to do a Brazilian film. I\'ve been brought up in the Brazilian culture. My mum brought me up on my own. I cook Brazilian food. I\'ve never spoken a word of English to my mother."

Speaking to the Telegraph, Scodelario said fashion is not her forte.

"I always feel a bit out of place. It\'s just not me - high heels and designer dresses - and I can\'t seem to get used to it," she said.

Scodelario told Pop Sugar that while she respects Jennifer Lawrence\'s and Kristen Stewart\'s careers, she does not intend to follow their footsteps and would like to work with up and coming actors instead of Hollywood bigwigs.

She will always say "no" to two-dimensional female roles.

"I was raised by my mother alone," she explained to Teen magazine about the decision. "She\'s one of the strongest women in the world. So for me, it\'s very, very important to show it - and especially that young girls can be inspirational."

She uses her mother\'s surname and only met his father shortly before he died.

Kaya Scodelario grew up without a father. She only got to meet him face-to-face and interact with him in 2010, but he died the same year. The actress said the experience was nice, in such a way that she found out their similarities, but she would always regard her mom as both her mother and father.
