Alicia Vikander has admitted she had some fun with the prosthetics for her new film The Light Between Oceans.

The Oscar winner is starring in the film opposite real-life boyfriend Michael Fassbender. The harrowing romantic drama, which is based off the best selling book, tells the story of a lighthouse keeper and wife who adopt a baby that washes up in a rowboat on their shore.

Alicia and Michael have to sport old-age prosthetics for part of this film, and Michael admits it made him feel a bit better about the aging process.

'It's a bit weird at first but you get used to it after a while', the Irish actor mused.

But Alicia says she decided to have some fun with the impressive makeup, and play a trick on her unsuspecting parents.

'I hadn't seen my parents in a while, and it looked really rugged like i'd done I don't know what for a few years', Alicia revealed.

'So i sent it to my parents and said 'it's going well, i'm a bit tired', and they were like 'what's going on!', the Swedish actress joked.
