Patrick Stewart's X-rated kisses

Patrick Stewart loved working on 'X-Men' - because he got to kiss his female co-stars every day.

The 68-year-old actor favourite part about working on the superhero trilogy was being surrounded by beautiful women, including Halle Berry, every day.

He said: "Filming 'X-Men' was amazing. Can you imagine what it was like starting your day walking into the make-up room and giving a good morning kiss to Halle Berry, Rebecca Romijn and Anna Paquin, can you imagine how good that felt?"

As well as having fond memories of 'X-Men', Patrick also loved shooting 'Stark Trek: The Next Generation'.

He said: "All those years of working for the Royal Shakespeare Company... sitting in the throne of England, was nothing but a preparation for sitting in the Captain's chair on The Enterprise. And there was something quite classic about 'Star Trek'.

"I am very proud of that work, very proud. We had a lot of fun, but we took the work itself very seriously, and we always tried to make it sound intelligent and significant."
