The 34-year-old actress, who will be seen opposite ex-boyfriend Bradley Cooper in upcoming film "The Words", said that she was comfortable sharing screen space with the actor, The Hollywood Reporter said.
"I've always said that when you watch movies and a love story falls short of what you wanted it to be, as an actor, as a person who works in films, you know that 90 per cent of the time it didn't work is because there was no chemistry, they didn't work out a friendship, they didn't feel safe around each other, they weren't communicating properly," Saldana said.
The actress said that wasn't the case on the set of their new film, she said.
"Bradley is a very dedicated and open professional. It's really good when you can balance that with an actor as opposed to an actor that just comes prepared and just goes, 'don't mess up my light' and 'this line is my close-up'. We didn't care where the camera was. It was just like we were both part of this extensive conversation," she added.
The couple dated for three months after meeting on the set of "The Words".
