Los Angeles, Sep 2

Hollywood star Ethan Hawke, who met his first wife Uma Thurman when they made Gattaca in 1997, says there is "danger" to falling in love on a movie set because it "doesn’t have any connection to the dailiness of real life".

The 54-year-old star, who split from Uma in 2003, explained the "imaginative intimacy" actors share on a project can deepen their feelings for one another, even though there is no "connection" to "real life".

Speaking to GQ Hype, Hawke said: “Have you ever played Spin the Bottle? There’s a certain intimacy to the work that we do. Imaginative intimacy. It’s such a high. It feels dangerous and thrilling.”
