Actors Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult have found a way to keep their romance alive - the duo have decided to ignore each other while working.

The couple has come up with a plan to avoid the frustrations of trying to keep a long-distance love affair alive and simply give each other the space to work, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"When we're busy, we agree to mutually ignore each other. Not completely, but neither of us gets mad when the other doesn't text back or call. Life's super-busy. Obviously you know what they're doing, and you trust them," said Lawrence.

"At least this way he's in the same boat as I am and we can go out and have our own lives and know that we have each other," she added.
