14th December 2010

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jack Nicholson was overcome with emotion when kissing Paul Rudd in his new movie.

The two men star in How Do You Know, about former athlete Lisa, portrayed by Reese Witherspoon, who is torn between two men. One of them is Pauls character George, who is regularly seen having discussions with his father Charles, played by Jack.

Whenever Charles is with George he cant help bestowing him with tender kisses, something Jack says was fun to shoot. I kissed him so many times, the veteran star laughed at the movies Hollywood premiere yesterday. I had all kinds of emotions.

Paul found the scenes equally as poignant, and says they fit in well with the rest of the movie. George is a businessman, while his love rival Matty, portrayed by Owen Wilson, is a professional baseball player. Although there are a lot of funny scenes in the film, Paul is proud of how well the emotional parts of it are handles.

I think I kissed him in every scene. I think that might be a record for me, Paul said. One of the things I like about this movie is you get very deep into the characters and conflicts and the many dimensions of human behaviour.

Although Owen missed out on being showered with affection by Jack, he still enjoyed the shooting process. He found Matty a thrilling character to play, as he doesnt care about social conventions.

Hes one of those guys that insists on having a good time, I dont think theres a lot of introspection. He's one of these guys who doesn't really have a filter, Owen mused. He just kind of says what comes into his mind. Its nice to play a character like that. (C) Cover Media
