Posted on 17th March 2009 03:00PMJulia Roberts thinks Clive Owen is a funny lover.
The actress - who previously worked with the British actor on 2004 drama 'Closer' - admits the pair got into trouble while shooting raunchy scenes for new movie 'Duplicity' because they couldn't stop laughing.
When asked if she enjoyed getting close to the hunky actor, Julia told US TV show 'Entertainment Tonight': "We did laugh the whole time. We've got a very similar sense of humour. The poor director, Tony Gilroy, had to have a lot of patience. The steamier it got the funnier we found it."
The 41-year-old actress says she and Clive, 44, had such an enjoyable time filming 'Duplicity' - in which they play an MI6 agent and a former CIA officer working as corporate spies - she finds it odd referring to her job as "work".
She said: "It was fun. It's silly to call what I do work, but it's my job."
The screen beauty - who raises three children, four-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Hazel and twenty-month-old Henry with her husband Daniel Moder - says motherhood has given her a more relaxed approach to work and she prefers to spend as much time with her family as possible.
She joked: "Early on, I mean, I would take any job that was offered... not really! But, yeah, I never quite had that kind of momentum in work that some people do."
