The 21-year-old makes her TV acting debut with her new role in the BBC's sexy historical drama The Tudors.
Tudor queen: Joss shines in sexy TV series the Tudors
Joss is playing Henry VIII's fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, who is believed to have been the most unattractive of Henry's six wives.
'It may not be the most glamorous role - Anne was meant to be ugly - but Joss had a lot of fun,' says a BBC source.
The Tudor King married Anne after seeing a portrait of her.
But when he met her, Henry famously called her a 'Flanders mare'.
Their marriage was annulled soon afterwards.
In the TV series, Henry - played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers - will storm out of their bedroom on their wedding night, claiming Anne is too ugly for him to consummate their marriage.
But it seems Joss hasn't let her short-lived role deter her from her acting ambitions.
'She thinks it's a stepping stone to other acting roles,' says the source.
The Grammy award-winning actress has also appeared as the Cadbury's Flake girl and got her breakthrough role in fantasy film Eragon in 2006.
The Tudors returns for its third series later this year.
