Rodrigo Santoro and Jennifer Lopez, who co-star in What To ExpectWhen You re Expecting, were told by the movie's director to keeptheir hands off each other during filming. Jennifer s background is Latin, she s Puerto Rican, I mBrazilian, we touch, we hug, we kiss, that s part of who we are, Santoro told Fox News Latino during a candid interview. In the pregnancy-themed comedy, which hits theaters March 18, theactors play Holly and Alex, a fun-loving affectionate couple thatare really into each other. But Santoro says the movie director,Kirk Jones, who is British, isn t used to such physical signs ofaffection. Chemistry happens. Just the fact that we both have a Latinbackground we could relate to each other, said Santoro. Forthis couple, if it didn t have the chemistry it wouldn t work. Santoro is undeniably sexy. In the movie, he s a supportivehusband to JLo's character. The couple has a difficult timeconceiving and decides to adopt a baby from Ethiopia, butSantoro s character has a hard time coping with the idea ofimpending fatherhood. The character that I play, Alex, is exactly the representation ofwhat we feel, said Santoro. How scared we feel, how we feel weare not ready for this, even though we desire this we really wantit, but we feel we re not ready." In What To Expect, Santoro got the chance to delve into comedy,something he admits he s not entirely comfortable with. The Latinactor who is already a huge star in his native Brazil, is moreknown for playing dramatic characters and has slowly started tomake his way into Hollywood with memorable roles in televisionshows and movies like 300, and Lost. I didn t plan to go to Hollywood and become an actor, it didn thappen that way. It started as a consequence from Brazilian filmsgetting attention in film festivals, he said In fact, Santoro recently opened another film in Brazil he producedand starred in, titled Heleno about a famous soccer player fromthe 40 s. It s been a passion project for me for many, manyyears and I spent most of the year in Brazil shooting this film." Santoro is being embraced by Hollywood despite having a distinctBrazilian accent. nd it was the fact that he was able to play aLatino character in a non-stereotypical role that has attracted himto many projects including What To Expect. When I got the script (for What To Expect When You reExpecting) I was as looking for a Jose, a Ricardo, a Juan saidSantoro I liked Alex, I really enjoyed that he wasn t thestereotype of a Latino, he was just a guy. Although he currently has no children, Fox News Latino asked theBrazilian actor if he was ready for fatherhood in real life. I think I am," he said. "I ll let you know when it happens, I mlooking forward to it, I think it will be amazing.
