Natalie Portman's Easier Sex Scenes With Kutcher

Natalie Portman has revealed that that Ashton Kutcher made the sex scenes in their new movie easier.

The pair stars together in the new romantic comedy No Strings Attached and find themselves up close and personal as friends who find themselves sleeping together.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight the actress said: "We obviously had to do stuff that could be really awkward, and when you just know that the person there won't overstep boundaries, you can just play and be silly together.

"The whole point of any of the sex scenes is to make you laugh, so at least we had that, that we could be really ridiculous in those scenes."

Portman is an actress in high demand at the moment with awards favourite Black Swan due out next week.

She has also completed work on Your Highness and the Other Woman, which are waiting for release.
