Bounty Hunter costars Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler haven't fessed up to any romantic involvement in real life, but their director says they're awfully good at faking it.

"When you have that chemistry [between actors] you're like 'Thank God!' because they're having fun on day 45 and day 65 and they're still flirting," director Andy Tennant told UsMagazine.com at Thursday's London premiere for the movie.

"Gerry likes to have fun, Jen likes to have fun, they don't take themselves seriously --- which is a big mistake people assume with Jennifer, but she's a riot!" Tennant told Us. "So we went out [during filming] and had a good time."

What of talk about Aniston-Butler hookups? Aniston joked to one reporter that she blames Butler. "He starts those rumors! It's his fault!" she said on the red carpet, laughing.

"Gerry is the best," she cooed. "He's funny and handsome. Nice combo!"

"We have a natural chemistry," Butler admitted to reporters. "You can see it in our magazine shoot and the film, we have a great time together."

In the film, the actors play ex-lovers reunited for a crime caper. One GMTV interviewer asked Aniston -- ex-wife of Brad Pitt -- if exes could get back together in real life.

"Absolutely!" Aniston replied. "Sometimes you meet each other a time in your lives and you're not necessarily ready...you're not fully formed to have maturity it takes to be in a relationship...It's not all black and white."

    Sounds as if one of jen's ex's is on this board. Could it be John?? are you upset that Jen has gotten over you so quickly. You have to keep calling her a wh00re just because she's not with you? Get over her and move on.

    haha that one is a good comment! sheryl and Tina!! Jen aniston is herself a W.H.O.R.E. Plus her movies are BOOOOOOrING

    Has Jennifer ever come across a man she didn't sleep with and get all involved with? Everyone calls Angelina the w.h.o.r.e, but every time I read a magazine or hear anything on TV, she's hovering over another man, proclaiming love and planning marriage and babies. How desperate is this b.i.t.c.h.? Haven't we had enough of her sugar coated girl next door garbage? She is not the only female in Hollywood. Can we more on to someone interesting anytime soon?

    wow....Can't believe all the negativity toward Jen on the last 3 posts. Are you upset because she's famous, single and sexy. She has no responsibilities and is having the time of her life. Suck it up - suckers.

    Wow!!! I can fry some chicken on that oily face!! That's gross Maniston! Get your self some oil-control face pads please. What a clingy biitch!! Her thin mouse lips and miss. Piggy nose must be annoying gerry every time he looks at her. You would think that after so many rhinoplasties her nose would look better?? I guess you can't change ugly. Iggy pops twin(jen) is a wh0re and will always be. I think is gret cuz you know, every man needs a girl who they can fack one day and dump her the next. And jen is the call-to girl.

  • March 13, 2010 - 10:07pm Jenny

    JEN ANISTON DESERVES A GOOD MAN; NOT SOME WOMANIZING SEX-PHOBIC FREAKOID. WE

    When will these two get it? They are totally made for each other in every way. People see it, why can't they?

  • March 13, 2010 - 4:07pm Me

    People (women) hate Jennifer because she is beyond rich, beautiful and fit, funny, intelligent and isn't tied down with kids. I do have to say that Gerard is a MAN, unlike some including Pitt. Who knows, maybe she is ready for that in her life. I wish her the best.

  • March 13, 2010 - 7:51am Amy

    Gerry is common, and Jen isn't too far behind.

  • March 13, 2010 - 7:12am GimmeABeat

    They're totally fu(king. But it won't last long, of course because he'll get bored and move onto someone hotter and possibly younger. Blah blah blah

  • March 13, 2010 - 5:54am rae

    i agree with you low 10. theres only one word that describe those that hate jen. PATHETIC! i used to get really annoyed but now i actually feel sorry for them lol, they just sad people that try to bring others down with them. and to the forth comment, if she wasn't hot, those gorgeous men wouldn't even have gone out with her in the first place, so yeah she IS hot, don't hate for no reason

  • March 13, 2010 - 4:24am Manon

    Pleeeeaaaasseee!!! "She feeds the tabloid triangle"??? What word(s) dont you understand in "One GMTV interviewer ASKED ANISTON [...] if exes could get back together in real life" (not to mention that in the sentence before, it is clearly stated that they asked that in relation to the movie)??? And yeah, what about Jolie saying that she wanted her children to watch "Mr&Ms Smith" because it was where their parents fell in love ? It wasnt "feed the tabloid triangle", was it ? But of course, the only thing people kept in mind was J. Aniston's "reply" because, OMG, she said St Angelina had not been "cool"!!! (BTW, once again, she was only answering an interviewer) You really need to understand that main part of the whole thing is made up by the media! She has moved on, so has her ex husband obviously. As for Jolie, I have never been able to stand her, I feel that shes a manipulative, tacky and fake witch, and some personal sources tend to confirm it but who knows ?

  • March 12, 2010 - 10:12pm yes

    People are negative towards her because she feeds the tabloid triangle and we are all tired of it. Even though it's obvious she was talking about getting back with John Mayer (immature guy who dumped her) she knows people aka her crazy fans think she is talking about brad pitt (father of six who doesn't feed the tabloid triangle) After six years I am on the side who doesn't feed the tabloid triangle.

    hate girls like that Says:-------- ------------------- You are a delusional idiot.

  • March 12, 2010 - 8:36pm Jenn is the hottest, JP? Really? Brad Pitt doesn't think so, either does John Mayer or Bradley Cooper.

    I'll bet Gerald Butler doesn't think so either.

  • March 12, 2010 - 7:00pm JP

    JEN IS THE HOTTEST...AND JUST BECAUSE YOU LITTLE CREEPY GUYS CAN'T GET A DATE TO SAVE YOUR LIFE...WELL I GUESS THAT SAYS IT ALL

  • March 12, 2010 - 6:58pm JP
