| Romijn draws on own break-up for role |
|
The break-up of her own marriage helped American actor Rebecca Romijn get in character for her latest film role. Romijn worked on Man About Town 18 months after her high-profile split from fellow actor John Stamos after six years of marriage. Man About Town tells of a troubled showbusiness couple, played by Ben Affleck and Romijn, living in Hollywood.
"I worked on the movie shortly after the downfall of my own marriage which was a really painful experience and so of course you draw from your own personal experiences to an extent," Romijn told AAP from Los Angeles. "I definitely identified with that pain, any time a marriage falls apart it is a very very painful experience."
In Man About Town, Affleck plays Hollywood agent Jack Giamoro who discovers his model wife Nina is cheating on him with his top client. "It is meant to be a bit of a satire but it is not that far off base," explained Romijn, 33. "There are some characters out here (in Hollywood) that are just as nutty as any of the characters in the movie. It is a pretty insane world. You come across all kinds of characters out here, it is amazing."
