RYAN REYNOLDS - REYNOLDS LONGS FOR LOVE SCENES WITH ROBERTS

RYAN REYNOLDS was thrilled to land a role opposite JULIA ROBERTS in new movie FIREFLIES IN THE GARDEN - but was left disappointed by the fact they wouldn't play onscreen lovers. The actor admits Roberts, who plays his mother in the film, is his all-time Hollywood crush. Reynolds, who is dating Scarlett Johansson, tells Parade magazine, "I was so excited (to work with Julia) until I found out the scenes I have with her are when she's playing my mother. "I was like, 'Couldn't we have a hot romance instead?' It's so sad. I have to tell my friends that I'm getting to act with the old Julia Roberts."
