Drew Barrymore (Bauer Griffin)Drew Barrymore has repeatedly refused to confirm whether she's in a relationship with her on/off beau
Justin Long. But regardless of their status, the natural chemistry between the pair in their new movie
Going The Distance made the film even better.
She said: “We never talk about when we’re together and when we’re not. It never, ever will be addressed. Mystery is sexy. But I definitely think it was a real benefit that we knew each other so well so the laughter was genuine and the struggles, we understand.
“It’s very rare for me to walk into a movie and have such an honest amazing chemistry with someone; that was such a blessing and a gift and I really felt lucky.”
The actress also admitted she's experienced the pain of long-distance love, as depicted in the new film, but she thinks it's possible to make a romance work even when spending so much time apart.
She added in an interview with Australian newspaper
Nine to Five: “I’ve been in long-distance relationships my whole life so I totally related to this as a woman. I know what I would want to make a long-distance relationship work, such as letters, surprising each other or making plans to do things that make you feel great and alive, and feel really special and think that you’re a part of this unit and it’s not a phantom thing.
“I think probably one of the real pitfalls of long-distance relationships, is the not knowing all the time and the inconsistency.”
