| Actor Matthew Perry, star of the television
comedy series 'Friends,' poses with tennis player Maria Sharapova,
the 2004 women's champion at Wimbledon, during the premiere of the
new film 'Wimbledon', in Beverly Hills September 13, 2004. The film
about the high stakes world of professional tennis stars Kirsten
Dunst and Paul Bettany. The film opens September 17 in the United
States. |
Kirsten Dunst stars in the new romantic comedy Wimbledon, but the
Hollywood actress was joined by the British tennis tournament's stunning
real-life champ at the movie's Los Angeles premiere.
Statuesque Maria Sharapova, who took home the Wimbledon crown earlier
this summer, showed she has more than her share of off-court style in a
dark blue dress and stiletto
heels. And the Russian blonde wasn't lacking in famous
admirers, either, as she rubbed elbows with Friends actor Matthew Perry,
whose pals include fellow tennis star Jennifer Capriati.
Wimbledon's leading man, 33-year-old Paul Bettany, brought along his
true leading lady, wife Jennifer Connelly, to the Monday night screening.
But it was co-star Kirsten, 22, his romantic interest in the movie, who
has been singing the British actor's praises.
"It's a delicate balance, because it's so easy to go over the top," she
says of the love story. "But with Paul, he's so adorable and respectful. I
just cannot say enough nice things about
him."
