Leighton Meester loves to "mix business with pleasure".
The 28-year-old actress stars with husband Adam Brody in new movie 'Life Partners' and she admitted it was fun to work so closely with the actor.
Speaking on 'The View', she said: "I always want to work with people that I like and love and people that I'm friends with. It's nice to mix business with pleasure."
The 'Gossip Girl' star is appearing in 'Of Mice and Men' on New York's Broadway with James Franco and Chris O'Dowd and her husband has already proved a hit with her co-stars.
James said: "He's the sweetest guy. He's the best guy."
Meanwhile, 'Bridesmaids' star Chris joked Leighton enjoyed making 'Life Partners' so much, she'll be scouring all her future projects for another husband.
He quipped: "You're going to marry a different guy from every job from now on!"
Leighton recently insisted she didn't mind seeing Adam kiss his friend Gillian Jacobs in 'Life Partners'.
She said of their kissing scene: "I think, if anything, I think that they pulled it off really well.
"I think it's good to have that kind of history, and if that makes it awkward, it works because it's kind of awkward kissing people for the first time.But I think that it didn't look awkward, so I don't know. They look in love."

Charlize Theron is to host 'Saturday Night Live' for the first time. The 'Young Adult' actress has been chosen to front one of the last episodes of the hit NBC show's most recent series on May 10. She will put her comedic talents to the test when she...

Taylor Swift is to appear in 'Girls'.
The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' hitmaker has agreed to creator Lena Dunham's request to make a cameo appearance in the fourth series of the show, and there is scope for her role to be made even bigger if she wants it.
A source said: "Lena's been trying to persuade Taylor to appear in 'Girls' for ages. Taylor loves the show and has agreed to a cameo.
"Lena would also love her to take on a more permanent role and to pen some music for the show."
And model Cara Delevingne could also be set for an appearance after her friend Taylor revealed her to be a big fan.
The source continued to Grazia magazine: "Taylor told Lena that Cara is a huge fan of 'Girls'. Lena immediately agreed because Cara is her girl crush. She has been in touch with Cara's people already to discuss the idea."
Lena has previously revealed she uses Taylor's music as inspiration when writing the hit show.
She has said: "She writes her own destiny in a way which is very unusual, especially for a young woman in the world of pop music. I wrote half of the first season of 'Girls' listening to her 'Speak Now' album and wrote much of the third season listening to 'Red'."

Simon Cowell has taught his son to stick his tongue out.
The 54-year-old music mogul dotes on two-month-old Eric - his first child with girlfriend Lauren Silverman - but has already been teaching him some mischievous habits.
His friend and former girlfriend Terri Seymour said: "Simon taught him how to stick his tongue out at two months. It's hysterical--Simon sticks his tongue out and Eric copies, he's so cute!"
Terri admits fatherhood hasn't changed Simon's showbiz lifestyle at all, but she insists he is a "really good" dad - apart from the occasional near-mishap.
She told Us Weekly: "He's great actually. I mean he hasn't changed his lifestyle because Simon wouldn't. But he's very good. He'd never even held a baby before, so he was like, 'How do you hold a baby?'
"You have to remind him every now and then about the head... But he's really good and he loves it."
"Everybody was like, 'Oh my God, this is going to be so strange' but it's all been very natural."
And the 'Extra' host thinks the 'X Factor' boss has taken to fatherhood so well because Eric is such an "easy" baby.
She said: "I think [baby Eric] is just so easy. I met him obviously a few times before. He's amazing, he's the most well-behaved baby.... considering he's Simon's!
"He never cries. I literally heard him cry once... and [he] sleeps from like, seven in the evening to seven in the morning.
"He's such a happy baby. He wakes up, has his food, and goes straight back to sleep. He's like the dream baby. He's amazing."

Emeli Sandé and the Arctic Monkeys have each been nominated for a prestigious prize at this year's Ivor Novello Awards.
Emeli is up for the PRS for Music Most Performed Work award for her song 'Clown' and she will battle Passenger's 'Let Her go' and 'Troublemaker', performed by Olly Murs and Flo Rida, for the gong.
Arctic Monkeys - fronted by Alex Turner - have been named in the Album Award category for their acclaimed LP 'AM' and will need to beat 'Push the Sky Away' by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Laura Mvula's Sing to the Moon to take home the trophy.
Other categories include Best Song Musically and Lyrically which will see Palma Violets' 'Best of Friends', John Newman's 'Love Me Again' and London Grammar's 'Strong' all nominated, while Everything Everything's 'Kemosabe', Disclosure's 'Latch' and James Blake's 'Retrograde' are all up for Best Contemporary Song.
London Grammar band member Hannah Reid is very proud the trip-hop trio are up for an Ivor because the awards are so highly regarded among musicians.
Hannah told BANG Showbiz: "It's the most prestigious, it's the one more focused on songwriting ... it's the award that everyone wants.
"When I first wrote the melody (to 'Strong') I loved it, I was actually a bit cocky about it and thought it was great. But I fell out of love with it halfway through because people kept trying to change it. But I love it again now, it's got a strong message."
The 59th Ivors - which will be held on Thursday May 22 at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London - will also honour a number of artists with awards highlighting their contribution to British music.
These special accolades include recognition for International Achievement, Lifetime Achievement, Outstanding Song Collection, PRS for Music Outstanding Contribution to British Music, PRS for Music Special International Award, The Ivors Classical Music Award, The Ivors Inspiration Award and Songwriter of the Year.
