Jennifer Connelly Not Bothered by Nudity

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,

Jennifer Connelly wishes actors wouldn’t get embarrassed by sex scenes. The Oscar-winning actress admits getting intimate with a co-star is awkward, but insists it’s nowhere near as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

“Sex scenes are incredibly awkward, they’re always uncomfortable. I think they’re overused and people get very flustered by them,” Connelly said. “People don’t know how to discuss them and there’s a lot of embarrassment. It’s not my favorite thing to do, but there are circumstances in which they make sense. I just wish people wouldn’t dance around them.”

Cheesy Lover Paul Bettany

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,

English actor Paul Bettany can put the cigarette out, but is still addicted to cheese.

The Creation star’s wife Jennifer Connelly, who he raises two children with, says that although the actor has finally given up smoking, she has failed to dissuade him from taking his favorite dairy food everywhere.

She told Britain’s InStyle: “When we met he smoked a lot and ate a lot of cheese. He still eats a lot of cheese. It’s usually somewhere in his backpack. But he quit smoking. I don’t think it was my influence. Kids will do that to you. You want to stick around and see what happens with them.”

Although Jennifer—who has two sons, 12-year-old Kai from a previous relationship and Stellan, six, with Paul—insists she has little influence on her husband, she believes that he has made her less uptight: “I’ve gotten less introverted and earnest since Paul and I have been together. Paul tore me apart from my earnestness.”

Jennifer Connelly Isn’t Into Muscles

According to Paul Bettany, wife Jennifer Connelly shares similar views with her Hulk co-star Eric Bana on working out.

“She hates it when I get fit. It’s because she says, ‘You look like everybody I refused to go out with in college.’ So she’s never impressed by that sort of thing,” says the Iron Man actor.

Aside from his wife’s opinion of bulking up, he himself claims that he’s never thought up anything creative while working out:

“It’s impossible to have a creative thought when you’ve got something really heavy about to fall on your head. I can stand and wash up and an interesting thought can occur to me. Not once have I had an interesting thought while working out. And people lie. They say, ‘Oh, you get this sort of endorphin high.’ Or, ‘When I’m running, I get into this sort of trance-like state.’ It’s nonsense. It’s just painful.”

They really are normal, after all!
