“It was a blast working with him. He makes me laugh all the time.”

While she was happily working with her beau at the time, she also quoted the experience as “scary.” It was because she was conscious about what Pratt would think of her intimate scenes with others.

“I felt a little more vulnerable doing our scenes together because I’m always concerned about what he thinks. When it’s somebody who’s really close to you, you care about their opinion a little bit more.”

The 2011 rom-com film starred the actress in the leading role opposite the latter’s former co-star, Chris Evans. Meanwhile, Pratt played one of the former’s character ex-boyfriends in the film. The adult-oriented comedy film revolved around a female protagonist who explores stability in her romantic life after sleeping with 19 men.

“I wouldn’t want my husband sitting behind the cameras while I’m in bed with Zach Quinto or Joel McHale. Chris is so great about that.”
