Vanessa Paradis discusses dancing struggle

16th November 2010

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Vanessa Paradis doesnt plan to re-use the moves she learnt during the making of Heartbreaker.

The beautiful French actress and long-term partner of Hollywood hunk Johnny Depp had to master some complicated steps for her role in French movie Heartbreaker, a romantic comedy about man who runs a business designed to split couples up.

Although shes a talented singer, Vanessa struggled to pick up some of the Dirty Dancing-inspired moves she performed in the film with her co-star Romain Duris.

I will avoid the jump! laughed the 37-year-old actress when asked if she plans to recreate the moment she threw herself into the air on-screen again.

Vanessas previous dancing experience couldnt prepare her for the steps she had to perform in the movie, which she thinks had more in common with acrobatics than dance. The talented star admits she was very prudent on set as if she hadnt been she could have caused an injury.

Its ballroom dancing so its not something you just know how to dance! The rhythm is very fast and in addition there is also a short semi-stunt with an almost acrobatic lift. Its really precise otherwise you can hurt yourself, added the star.

Heartbreaker will be released on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK from November 22. (C) Cover Media
