Li: 'Farrell is lovely to everybody'

Chinese movie beauty Gong Li loves spending time with her Miami Vice co-star Colin Farrell off-set, but she insists he pays exactly the same amount of attention to the crew as he does to her.

The pair sparked reports they were enjoying a heady romance when they were spotted hand-in-hand at a plush post-premiere party in London - but Li is convinced Farrell is just being sweet.

She says: "He treats everybody well and takes great interest in everyone around him - not just me, but the crew as well. As a result, it's easy to feel relaxed around him."

The Memoirs Of A Geisha star, 40, also admits she has been taking the opportunity to "teach him how to drink mojitos", a strong cocktail of rum, lime and soda, on their nights out together.
