This weekend’s romantic comedy “Going the Distance” pairs up Drew Barrymore and Justin Long.

We asked them about working together, challenging scenes and more to get a better idea of their chemistry:

Q. How important is the first kiss in a romantic comedy?

Justin Long: The first kiss for us in the movie was sloppy because we were stoned. It was so easy to do because we are so comfortable. Sometimes it can be a surprise when you’ve just met someone.

Drew Barrymore: I was just lucky because he’s a good kisser. Thank God! The worst is when you’re trying to kiss someone who’s not a good kisser and you’re trying to make it look good. You feel like you’re working on your own. At least this was a real team effort.

What was the most challenging scene?

DB: One of the challenges I was most excited about was doing the drunk scene. We focused on what type of drunk is she, what we could ad lib and what could be spontaneous. If you were really angry, how would you let loose? It was like the most fun day at work ever.

JL: Some of the naked stuff was a little uncomfortable. But I think the most challenging was trying to keep a straight face. A lot of the intimate, sexual stuff-in a room full of 30-40 grown men-was a challenge.

Q. So just how important is it to have sparks between the leads in a romantic comedy?

DB: I find that films, for me, work best when you are invested in the whole group of people. I love films that have an alumni quality and you’re really into all the people in it. I love when the chemistry goes far beyond the couple.

Q. What attracted you to this film?

DB: I wasn’t in that place in my life where I wanted to play a cuckoo, wacky roll-reversal scenario. I wanted to play someone who has spine and is funny. I feel like I relate to that kind of person in my life right now so it was a pleasure for me to get to improv and work in a more free-flowing way.

Q. What’s the most cherished thing in your house?

DB: Any of my dogs.

Q. What are your top three movies?

JL: “Annie Hall,” “Back to the Future” and “Way Out West.”

DB: “Annie Hall,” “Lost in America” and “Sullivan’s Travels.” Those are some of my favorite movies.

Drew Barrymore thinks she had ”amazing chemistry” with on-off boyfriend Justin Long in new film ‘Going The Distance’ and claims it is ”sexy” to keep their romance a mystery to other people.

Drew Barrymore thinks mystery is “sexy”.

The actress – who has refused to confirm reports she has rekindled her romance with Justin Long – thinks the natural chemistry between the pair on new movie ‘Going The Distance’ has made the film even better.

She said: “We never talk about when we’re together and when we’re not. It never, ever will be addressed. Mystery is sexy. But I definitely think it was a real benefit that we knew each other so well so the laughter was genuine and the struggles, we understand.

“It’s very rare for me to walk into a movie and have such an honest amazing chemistry with someone; that was such a blessing and a gift and I really felt lucky.”

The ‘Wedding Singer’ star also admitted she has experienced the pain of long-distance love – as depicted in the new film – but believes it is possible to make a romance work even when spending so much time apart.

She added in an interview with Australian newspaper Nine to Five: “I’ve been in long-distance relationships my whole life so I totally related to this as a woman. I know what I would want to make a long-distance relationship work, such as letters, surprising each other or making plans to do things that make you feel great and alive, and feel really special and think that you’re a part of this unit and it’s not a phantom thing.

“I think probably one of the real pitfalls of long-distance relationships, is the not knowing all the time and the inconsistency.”

DREW Barrymore says she “let loose” during her drunk scene for new movie Going The Distance.

The actress — who stars alongside on/off beau Justin Long in the flick — admits one of the highlights of shooting the romcom was having the chance to experiment with ways to act legless.

“One of the challenges that I was most excited about was doing the drunk scene,” explains Drew.

“Me and the director really focused on what type of drunk my character was and what we could adlib and what would be spontaneous. It was the most fun day at work ever, because I really just let loose.”

Drew recently revealed that she insists on people sending her letters.

“I still write letters, I don’t want to communicate in a relationship via text and email,” she said.

“I love a letter. You are thoughtful when you write it and someone can read it and hold onto it and go back to it.

“For me there’s something very dangerous to have everything so instantaneous.”

Hollywood star Drew Barrymore is not a fan of email, and prefers people to take the time to write her a letter instead. The Music and Lyrics star, who refuses to confirm speculation that she has again rekindled her romance with on-off boyfriend Justin Long, thinks it is more meaningful to
pen a note, instead of sending an email or other electronic communication, reports entertainment website

“I don’t want to communicate via email. You are thoughtful when you write it and someone can read it and hold onto it and go back to it,” Barrymore said. “For me, there’s something very dangerous to have everything so instantaneous.”

The 35-year-old star admitted that she listens to music in cassette tapes, use a typewriter and shoot movies on film rather than digitally. She pines for a time in the past, when people were more formal.

“There’s a part of me that misses the grace and formalities of the past, like when gentlemen wore hats and opened doors,” she says.

Hollywood star Drew Barrymore wouldn’t play a married character in a film because she doesn’t relate to it. The 35-year-old actress, who stars as a journalist in a long-distance relationship in Going The Distance, admits she likes doing romantic comedy movies, but only enjoys intelligent realistic representations of love, London Evening Standard reported.

“I need rom-coms at the end of a bad day – a nice happy ending and a fairytale. On the other hand I like movies that are very grounded in reality but still maintain their comedy,” she said.

“I’m not at a place in my life where I want to play a character who says, ‘I just have to get married!. “I swear to God, with some of these romantic comedies, these women are being shot in the butt with steroids, and I fell like they’ll eat the husband alive on their wedding day.

It just terrifies me,” Barrymore added.The actress, who is said to be in a relationship with her Going the Distance co-star Justin Long, also admits she likes the idea of exploring the difficulties of being a modern woman in a film.

“This movie asks the question: ‘How do you keep the job and the guy?’ That is a question I’m interested in discussing, not like, ‘I’m going to rip your hair out because you stole my wedding dress.’ I don’t care about that,” she said.

Going The Distance is released worldwide throughout September
