Barrymore doesn't mind working with ex-beau

Barrymore doesn't mind working with ex-beau
London: Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore has revealed she had no reservations about starring in a romantic comedy with her on/off boyfriend Justin Long.

The Poison Ivy star insisted their real life relationship made their onscreen love affair in Going The Distance more believable, reports imdb.com.

Barrymore enjoyed a year-long romance with the actor which ended in 2008, but they remained close after the split and have since kept the press guessing over the status of their relationship.

The pair stars in Going The Distance as a couple forced to live apart by work, and 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," she said.

"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.
