Liev Schreiber loved Watts love scene

Naomi Watts

Hollywood actor Liev Schreiber loved the love making scene between his partner Naomi Watts and Samuel L Jackson in their new movie.

Liev who has two children - Alexander, two, and 16-month-old Samuel - with Watts described the intimate encounter between his long-term partner and Jackson in new movie "Mother and Child" as "smoking hot".

Speaking about visiting Schreiber at the New York theatre where he is starring in a production of "A View from the Bridge", Jackson said: "When I walked into the dressing room that was the first thing Liev talked about. He said, ‘That was so great the way you set it up, your clothes were on, but it was smoking hot’".

The 61-year-old actor also admitted he was delighted that Watts’ aggressive character took charge during the scene.

"Fortunately, she was the one in charge. So it worked out great. I didn`t have to go through the normal things you go through when you have a lovemaking scene," he said.

Tom Cruise and DiCaprio among most overpaid actors list

Will FerrellComedian Will Ferrell has secured the top position in Forbes list of “Hollywood’s Most Overpaid Star”, which also includes big names like Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and Drew Barrymore.

The funnyman, who earns 1 dollar for every 3.29 dollars his films make, is ranked first because his film "Land of the Lost" flopped, which has landed him in the top spot.

Ferrell is one of the few ‘Saturday Night Live’ stars to achieve real movie fame, thanks to films like ‘Elf’ and ‘Talladega Nights’. The success of those comedies bumped up Ferrell’s paycheck, but recently that has hurt his return on investment number.

"This summer’s ‘Land of the Lost’ flopped, earning only USD 65 million on an estimated budget of USD 100 million," the magazine said.

The second spot went to ‘Angels and Demons’ star Ewan McGregor.

"Although he appeared as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the three new ‘Star Wars’ films, McGregor is not the kind of actor who earns USD 15 million paychecks. Unfortunately, his low pay couldn’t protect him from landing second on our list, because his recent movies have performed so badly," the magazine wrote.

The other in the top 10 list of most overpaid actors include Billy Bob Thornton, Eddie Murphy, Ice Cube, Tom Cruise, Drew Barrymore, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L Jackson and funnyman Jim Carrey.
