Barrymore says romantic history with Long makes new movie look real
August 21st, 2010 - 6:26 pm ICT by ANILondon, Aug 21 (ANI): Actress Drew Barrymore has revealed that her real life relationship with on/off boyfriend Justin Long has made their onscreen love affair in ‘Going The Distance’ more believable.
Barrymore, 35, had a yearlong romance with Long, 32, which ended in 2008, but the two have remained close even after the split.
According to the Daily Mirror, Barrymore admits her off screen turmoil with Long made him the perfect choice for the role of her lover.
“I thought it would be a unique experience to go work with someone I had a history with and who I had emotional times with and who genuinely makes me laugh and who I’m genuinely attracted to,” the Daily Star quoted her as saying.
“I knew the chemistry between us would be honest so we would be able to bring a truth to the fact that a relationship can be very difficult and I thought that would be a real benefit.
“I think we balanced the line really well and I think we were willing to bare that chemistry and the pain and joy we’d felt in life,” she added. (ANI)
