Gerard reveals Jennifer film thrill

Actors Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler made light of any off-screen romance, even as they gushed about how much they loved working together on their new film.

The pair, who star in The Bounty Hunter, greeted each other warmly on the red carpet in Leicester Square for the film's London première.

They confessed to becoming very close while making the rom com, with Scottish hunk Gerard describing it as a "blast".

"We have a blast together and she appreciates that Celtic manner," the 40-year-old said.

"There's nothing diva-ish about her, she's very down to earth, very sure of herself and who she is, and I'm like a little kid, who doesn't take myself too seriously.

"We had a fun script and a great director, so we just had to dive in and it was a blast."

Clad in an Alexander McQueen jacket, Valentino Couture mini-dress and Jimmy Choo shoes, Jennifer said their on-screen chemistry was "the script's fault".

"I love my Gerry. We just lucked out - director fantastic, Gerry fantastic, our crew, New York - you just can't go wrong," she added.

The action comedy features Butler as a down-on-his-luck bounty hunter who is tasked with bringing in his bail-jumping ex-wife, played by Aniston.
