2009-01-19
PARK CITY, Utah - Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor were an item at the Sundance Film Festival, where their gay romance "I Love You Phillip Morris" premiered. Carrey and McGregor steam up the screen with some hot and heavy necking. What was it like for Carrey to lock lips with McGregor? "A dream come true. I mean, look at the guy," Carrey said, gesturing at McGregor during a question-and-answer session with the audience after the film's Sundance premiere Sunday night. Directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, "I Love You Phillip Morris" is based on the true story of a con man (Carrey) who meets the love of his life (McGregor) in prison, then concocts elaborate escapes and masquerades to free himself and his man. Carrey and McGregor make a nice couple, their characters' love story playing out with sweetness, passion and devotion. The actors said playing gay was all in a day's work. "It's the same as playing any other kind of man, any other kind of character," said McGregor, saying there was nothing awkward in their kissing and cuddling scenes. ___ On the Net: http://festival.sundance.org/2009
