HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN has denied reports of a romance with NATALIE PORTMAN – because they would never have been able to act together if they’d been lovers.
The pair have been dogged by rumors of intimacy on the set of STAR WARS EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES, but the upcoming star insists no impropriety went on, although he has the greatest respect for his co-star. He says, “We got to be great friends, nothing more. She’s personable, and a lot brighter than any girl I’ve ever known. But when it came to working together, we were both strictly professional. “Like, we had a love scene in which we kiss and hug and stuff, and it was done by the numbers. One, put your arms there. Two, put your lips there. Three, close your eyes and so forth. “Not much to feel, you know? I can’t say Nat and I were even embarrassed by the scene. It was that mechanical. I guess to play romantic on the screen, you have to be totally unromantic. “How would we have done it if Nat and I were really in love? Badly, I guess.”
