The secret to coping with the scene is to "brush your teeth well first, then chew gum, close your eyes and move on," he says.
Kissing American actor Tom Hanks in his recently released film Larry Crowne was "just sweet," Hollywood actress Julia Roberts revealed in an interview published by German magazine Frau im Spiegel on Wednesday.
According to the 43-year-old artist, "it was logically strange" to kiss Hanks, because they have known each other for "so long", which is why they did not need to prepare the kissing scene beforehand and simply trusted their instincts.
Her friendship is so close that the actress's Oscar adorns one of the 55-year-old's shelves: "We exchanged them a while ago," she explained.
The trick
However, the secret to coping with a fictional kiss is to "brush your teeth well first, then chew gum, close your eyes and move on," she has said.
In her marriage to cameraman Daniel Moder, 42, the welcome kiss after a long day of work is very important, she has stressed.
"That should never be missing," said the actress, who has assured that she and the father of her twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, six years old, and Henry, four, "respect each other a lot."
The secret of marriage
According to Roberts, "in a marriage one must constantly strive for the other, otherwise the relationship is going to sink."
The actress, who confesses that she crochets during filming breaks, has assured that her "greatest joy" is being able to work with her husband and that work does not separate them.
She has also confessed to being "very happy" not to be a 20-year-old beginner, because today, according to the actress, the film industry is much more aggressive than when she began her career.
"Then there was no internet, there were no crazy paparazzi chases or video interviews," said Roberts, who pointed out that even if the situation had been different, she "would never have given up the dream of being an actress."
