Will Smith Talks Love Scene Nerves in New Movie

Monday, December 8, 2008

Will Smith plays a conflicted man with a mysterious secret who decides to help seven strangers in the dramatic love story 'Seven Pounds.' Now, ET's Kevin Frazier gets the dish from Will and co-star Rosario Dawson about their love scene in the film together -- and Will's nervousness about going through with it!

Rosario tells Kevin she saw a different side of Will while filming the love scenes.

"He was very gentle and very sweet but I had to be extremely gentle with him," she says. "He was very nervous and very shy."

The actor shares his own feelings about working so closely with his co-star.

"I think women, they can kind of separate stuff," he says. "But for me, I'm lying in the bed with Rosario Dawson. It was throwing me off a little bit."

In the film, Will plays Ben Thomas, an IRS agent who embarks on an extraordinary journey of redemption by forever changing the lives of seven strangers, including Woody Harrelson as a blind man and Rosario as a woman with a failing heart.

Catch Will and Rosario in '7 Pounds,' in theaters Dec. 19.
