McConaughey: Cruz is adorable

Hollywood hunk Matthew McConaughey has spoken out for the first time about his rumoured romance with Pelelope Cruz - and he thinks she's "adorable".

The pair have been linked in the press since Cruz's split from longterm love Ton Cruise earlier this year - the Sahara co-stars were last month spotted enjoying a romantic night out together in London.

But they have refused to acknowledge even a friendship, until now.

McConaughey gushes: "I think she's adorable. She sees everything for the first time, even if she's seen it many times before. There's a freshness and an innocence about that that I find adorable."
