Evan Rachel Wood recently filmed a scene in the new Beatles movie musical ‘Across the Universe’ and says she struggled through it because she couldn’t stop crying.

In the scene she is weeping over the loss of her boyfriend who was killed in the Vietnam War. Wood says she didn’t have to conjure up any tears, the tears were genuine.

“I’m standing there hearing The Beatles sing ‘Let It Be’, which already moves you, and then right in front of you, live, I was watching these people fold this American flag. With that song playing and with that image right in front of me, something snapped and I just broke down. I could not hold the crying in. I was thinking, ‘This is happening every day, where a soldier is honored at a funeral,’ and it was probably happening while we were filming that scene, and it just killed me.”
