Updated 11.24 Sun Sep 07 2008

The British actress has revealed what it was like getting up close and personal with 300 star Gerard Butler in her new film RocknRolla.

Newton plays the role of Stellar, a smart sexy accountant with ties to the underworld as well as One Two's (Gerard Butler) love interest.

Thandie said she enjoyed that it was not a conventional romance: "It's hard by the end of the movie to understand the nature of their relationship was and I guess it was lust.

"She is definitely getting very involved in the criminal underworld by pitching these two very powerful criminal teams against one another."
