Anne Hathaway gets smart about love and life Anne Hathaway opens up about her fairytale life as an actress, role model.

Movie set romances have become so commonplace, its almost remarkable when two high-profile co-stars don’t fall for one another.

Brad and Angelina, Jake and Reese, Jen and Vince, Kate and Owen . . . the list goes on.

And while Anne Hathaway’s own list of co-stars includes James McAvoy, Adrian Grenier, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, the 25-year-old actress confesses she’s never once been remotely tempted.

Having dated Italian real estate developer Raffaello Follieri for four years, and standing by his side despite his recent financial controversies, Hathaway says she prefers not to mix work with romance.

“I try not to date where I work. I think that makes life easier. Besides, the possibility has never really arisen. I don’t say no to anybody because I’d hope that people wouldn’t say no to me just because I’m an actor - but they’d have to be a pretty extraordinary.”

Not that its an issue for the actress who recently hinted at marriage to her 29-year-old beau: "It is on the cards. Absolutely. Just not yet. I’ve always wanted a family. I’m not one of those people who says, ‘What’s the point of marriage?’"

Talking with US magazine Newsweek she described her relationship with Follieri, saying, “[We] worship each other. We were desperately in love the first year, then we became each other’s best friends.”

Elaborating further, she says today: “The real goal is to find someone that you can be yourself around, that makes you laugh, that you’re challenged by in a good way and that you just kind of spark off of each other and hopefully that you are together for as long as that’s there.

“My whole attitude about it is that you always need to have time to do normal things, and normal is obviously a relative concept, but the thing about dating is that when you find the right person you make time for them.

“My own parents have been married more than 25 years in all the glory and all the pain that you can imagine, but they’ve stayed together. I want a strong marriage like that,” says the actress who is also an advocate for gay marriage, abandoning her youthful plans to become a nun after her older brother Michael came out.

While Hathaway frequently finds herself cast as a romantic lead, she confesses to dreading love scenes, especially when her male co-stars use it as an opportunity to molest her.

“Even with the most lovely guys, they revert to basic male instincts when it comes to kissing scenes. When that happens you just have to close your teeth so they end up licking at your gums and teeth!
