Rosamund Pike

Simon Pegg bonded with Rosamund Pike after one of her "chicken fillets" kept "sticking to him" during a love scene.

The actors star together in Hector and the Search for Happiness and had to record while almost naked.

The problems they experienced left Simon happy to open up to her about anything.

"We had to do quite a graphic love scene,” he told the latest edition of British Glamour magazine. “You wear these modesty things that cover your bits and for women you'll wear ones on the ends of your boobs so you don't look naked.

They were like chicken fillets and one kept sticking to me.”

The motion picture, which also stars Toni Collette, tells the tale of a psychiatrist who searches the globe to find the secret of contentment.

It is released in cinemas next year.

“Once you've done that with someone, you can really talk about anything," Simon giggled.

Rosamund Pike And Guy Pearce To Star In Aussie Drama Violet Town published: 2012-11-28 08:24:03 Author: Kristy Puchko (CINEMA BLEND)



The beautiful English ingénue Rosamund Pike first drew notice Stateside in 2005's Pride and Prejudice, where she played the loving Jane Bennet opposite the Oscar-nominated Keira Knightley. Though roles followed in the Anthony Hopkins/Ryan Gosling vehicle Fracture and the Oscar-nominated biopic An Education, Pike hasn't yet blown up. Coming up she'll appear in supporting parts in Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher and Simon Pegg's Hector and the Search for Happiness, but thankfully a leading role is in her future, thanks to a forthcoming drama out of Australia.

In their first joint venture Mushroom Pictures and Morrissey Molloy Entertainment are producing an adaptation of Steven Carroll’s novel The Art Of The Engine Driver penned by Matt Cameron. The film, rechristened Violet Town, centers on a married couple attending a New Years Eve Party in 1957 Melbourne. But what should be a night of joy and frivolity turns dramatic when secrets buried within their suburban lives are unearthed. Deadline reports Pike and Guy Pearce will play the spouses with skeletons in their closet. Bryan Brown, best known as Tom Cruise's buddy in Cocktail, is also attached, though his role is unknown. Mark Joffe, who directed the charming Janeane Garofalo rom-com The MatchMaker, will helm.
