Anna Friel writes love letters to boyfriend David Thewlis to let him know how much she's missing him.
The British actress - who has won critical acclaim in the US with her new TV drama 'Pushing Daisies' - is currently living in Los Angeles with the couple's two-year-old daughter, Gracie, while 'Harry Potter' star David stays in Britain, and Anna is determined to keep the romance alive.
She said: "I think the element of surprise is the most romantic thing. And I still love writing letters. I know there's email and everything but I like letters, and I like flowers of course - just like every other girl.
"I've been known to write love letters to David. I'm an old-fashioned girl. I like the old school way of doing things."
Despite missing David, Anna insists she has settled into the Los Angeles lifestyle.
She added: "I love the beaches in Los Angeles. I also have so many English friends who live in the city. I'm really enjoying it."
Although Anna enjoys writing love letters she isn't so keen on receiving "weird" fan mail.
She said: "There was a guy once who sent me a photograph of his bedroom and his walls were covered in posters of me. I found that a bit freaky. Some people ask for knickers too, that's weird."
