Is she nuts?

Thandie Newton refused to kiss Gerard Butler in their sex scene for RockNRolla because he was ill when she arrived on the set.

So, who cares?  What’s a cold or the flu?  I mean seriously, is she nuts? 

She ended up only “romping” with him:

“I arrived on set for the sex scene to find Gerry was very unwell indeed. So I wouldn’t kiss him.

“Guy had to improvise. I don’t know how he coped with those problems but it ended up being one of the most brilliant scenes. But I did find it challenging having to climax in a close-up to camera.”

He must have been ill from that Vitamin B-12 shot that Madonna gave him in the butt.  Okay, romping with Gerard Butler isn’t too shabby, but the chance to kiss him? Why would you give that up?

Thandie loved being in the male-dominated film:

“One of the things I really liked about the film was that on set it was just me surrounded by men! It was a lot less chat but it was great.”

If you were in Thandie Newton’s shoes, would you still have kissed an ill Gerard Butler?
