LinkMatthew Rhys: I've done an Italian orgy The actor would also like a threesome with Sienna Miller and Keira KnightleyMatthew Rhys, 32, is starring as Dylan Thomas with Sienna Miller and Kiera Knightley in upcoming film The Edge Of Love. The actor is also in new TV series Brothers And Sisters. Your character Kevin Walker in Brothers And Sisters is gay. Do people assume you are, too? Not really, but I get a lot of gay men who feel slightly cheated when they find out I'm straight. It's very flattering, though. How have you found having to kiss another man? I've played gay roles before and it's not awkward at all. If you're secure in yourself, it isn't a problem. The amount of women on set that love coming to watch it is surprising. Are you seeing anyone special at the moment? No, not right now. I'm free and single, but I'm on the lookout. How are you enjoying working with Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley? It's the stuff of dreams – it's what you hope for when you sign up for this stupid profession. We understand that there's a threesome scene in the film? That's a fantastic fabrication, but it's not true. It's hinted at in the film, but there isn't any real naughtiness. I'm trying to convince the director to have a threesome scene after all! Have you had to do any on-screen nudity before? Yes – the first few times I found it terrifying, but you just get used to it. I did Italian orgy scenes in a film called Titus. It was Jonny Lee Miller, an Italian gymnastic team and me. See the full interview with Matthew Rhys in Now magazine - out now!

I bought the magazine the other day and thought I'd type up the full interview.
Your character Kevin Walker in Brothers And Sisters is gay. Do people assume you are, too?
Not really, but I get a lot of gay men who feel slightly cheated when they find out I'm straight. It's very flattering, though.
Have you ever kept up the pretence in front of a woman? I'm ashamed to say I have. On a couple of occasions when I've been out with Dave Annable, who plays Kevin's brother Justin, a girl has come up and asked Dave: 'Is Matthew really gay?' and he's taken great pleasure in saying: 'Yes.'
How have you found having to kiss another man?
I've played gay roles before and it's not awkward at all. If you're secure in yourself, it isn't a problem. It sounds funny, but all the lads who've played my boyfriends have been great people to work with, so there's never been any tension - and if they're hot, all the better! The amount of women on set that love coming to watch it is surprising.
Do you like living in LA? It's fine - there's a really big British community, so when you need a fix of British humour, there's someone to hang out with. I gre up with Ioan Gruffudd and he lives over there now - just around the corner from me. Jonny Lee Miller has just started work on a TV series there, too.
Why do you think Brits are so popular in America right now? I honestly don't know, but I know that it's pissing a lot of US actors off. I'm just happy that I caught the wave and I'm having a good time.
How do you find doing an American accent? It's really difficult. [Australian actress] Rachel Griffiths and I have a voice coach who puts our lines on to CDs. I listen in the car and repeat the lines back, which makes me look a bit mad when I'm stuck at the traffic lights.
Kevin's a bit of a commitment-phobe - can you relate to that? Completely! I don't know if that's part of the job because you travel all the time, but I do find it very difficult to have a steady relationship.
Are you seeing anyone special at the moment?
No, not right now. I'm free and single, but I'm on the lookout.
You're playing Dylan Thomas in The Edge of Love. How are you enjoying working with Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley?
It's going fantastically well. I'm feeling a bit of pressure because if I don't get it right, a lot fo people won't be happy. It's such a hardship to have to film with two women as beasutiful as Sienna and Keira. Actually, it's the stuff of dreams – it's what you hope for when you sign up for this stupid profession.
We understand that there's a threesome scene in the film?
That's a fantastic fabrication, but it's not true. It's hinted at in the film, but there isn't any real naughtiness. I'm trying to convince the director to have a threesome scene after all!
Have you had to do any on-screen nudity before?
Yes – the first few times I found it terrifying, but you just get used to it. I did Italian orgy scenes in a film called Titus. It was Jonny Lee Miller, an Italian gymnastic team and me. I've done well really, haven't I?
Is it true that you once did a full-frontal in Cannes? How did you know about that? Yes, Ioan and I drunkenly dared each other from a hotel that overlooked a red carpet premiere. We're respectable now, honest!
Keira or Sienna: who's better? I can't say that! If the other one ever read this, they'd kill me.
