Bobby Cannavale thinks Rose Byrne brings out the best in other actors.

The two are currently starring in new comedy Adult Beginners, where they play husband and wife Danny and Justine.

Their on screen chemistry was easy to master as they're a real life couple. Bobby has nothing but praise for his other half, describing her as "incredible".

"Yeah, and when you think about all those movies [Insidious, Get Him to the Greek and Bad Neighbours], here she is, she’s paired up with wildly different people - Seth Rogen and Patrick Wilson and all those girls in Bridesmaids and Russell Brand. It’s like she can work with anybody and she brings out the best in everybody and she really sort of grounds everything she’s in, in a really nice way. Yeah, I think seriously, she’s the kind of person that if you go and you know she’s in the movie, you’re in really good hands," Bobby smiled to comingsoon.net.

The part of Danny was actually written for Bobby by Liz Flahive, a gesture which the actor says is "totally flattering".

The 44-year-old has had a varied career, going from bit parts in shows such as Sex and the City to landing Hollywood movies like Chef and the hotly anticipated Ant-Man. His turn as Gyp Rosetti in Boardwalk Empire is what changed everything for the star.

"You know, for a long time before that, I was just playing nice guys, really sweet, nice, charming guys, then I got cast as this sort of villainous role. So it’s always a compliment when somebody writes something for you. But I’m really conscious about trying to play different things as much as I can," he explained.
