To Christopher Lee, his sexy Taiwanese co-star Tian Xin is like a little boy in real life.

"She is a straightforward and loud person and she likes to joke around on set.

"If she doesn't like something, she will voice it out directly," he told The New Paper over the phone yesterday.

"I think that is why acting with her was very comfortable. As our age gap isn't too big, we could talk about a lot of things. If there is another chance, I would love to work with her again."

However, Lee did feel slightly uncomfortable when it came to filming the passionate kissing scene with Tian.

"This is our first time working together, so it is natural that there will be some awkward moments when we filmed that scene. We did our best to keep it to a few takes."

Lee did not tell his wife, Fann Wong, about the scene because he felt that there was no need.

He said: "We are both actors, she will understand that it's for work. She won't feel jealous or unhappy because we trust each other.

"If Fann lets such small stuff get to her, then won't she feel very miserable?"

DIDN'T MEET FANN

Lee said that Tian pestered him to introduce Fann to her, but there was no opportunity to do so.

So, does Lee feel that his wife thinks as highly of him as Tian?

He replied confidently: "Well, if Fann doesn't have such a good impression of me, she wouldn't have married me."
