Jonathan Rhys-Meyers says he couldn't help sneaking a peek at Scarlett Johansson's breasts while filming Match Point.

Jonathan revealed that Scarlett, 21, banned him from looking at her breasts during love scenes - but he did anyway.

The 28-year-old Irish actor told Unscripted: "I remember (Scarlett) telling me not to look at her t**s. And I was trying to be a gentleman and sort of asking for a glimpse.

"But I did sneak a peek - I couldn't help it, tohanssonhey were in my face."

Jonathan said he had no problem "acting" his part as Scarlett's lover in the Woody Allen film.

"It was easy work doing the sex scenes, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't," he added

"She has lovely lips and she's a great kisser. Being able to maul her for 30 seconds, I was able to embrace that side of me and the film became easier."
