Rachel McAdams On Making Long Distance Work

Rachel McAdams has recently spilled some details on her relationship with former costar Michael Sheen, specifically on how they make their long distance relationship work.

“Michael and I never spend more than three weeks apart — we rack up a lot of air miles — but you have to be quite adaptable in this business whether you are in a relationship or not,” Rachel said. “Trying to establish roots somewhere is a bit of a joke.”

Michael and Rachel first met on the Midnight In Paris, but she says that they didn’t start seeing eachother until after filming wrapped.

“Michael and I didn’t get together while we were filming Midnight in Paris, which I feel strongly about not doing when I’m working. We became quite good friends, which I think is a great way to start,” she explained. 

And the star offered one more bit of advice for those in long distance relationships, “You need to trust each other and be able to talk to each other and be best friends,” she said.
