Julia Roberts is `not a bad kisser`
When it comes to kissing, Julia Roberts is ‘not bad’ according to her Eat Pray Love co-star James Franco.
The 32-year-old jokingly tells USA Today he ‘didn’t mind’ kissing the Pretty Woman actress.
But Glee creator Ryan Murphy – who directed Eat Pray Love – swears the actor only accepted the role because he got to kiss Roberts.
Murphy says: ‘He really wanted to kiss Julia Roberts.
‘He told me that was the reason. I was like: ‘Wait I thought it was my brilliant script’.’
Franco denies that puckering up with Roberts, 42, was his motivation but he does say he had to encourage the actress to dive into their initial love scene.
‘The first day in the first scene shot for the film, I leaned in to kiss her and she said: ‘Oh, I don’t know if we should do that the first day’,’ he says.
‘I said: ‘Well, take it or leave it but I think it is important to the movie and the story’.
‘She said something like: ‘All right, the kid flew all the way from Ireland. We might as well do it’.’
Asked what kissing the Pretty Woman was like, Franco says: ‘Not bad. I didn’t mind.’
