Abbie Cornish discovers love of guns shooting new movie


Actress Abbie Cornish has revealed that she “totally fell in love” with guns while filming her new movie Sucker Punch. The former girlfriend of Ryan Phillippe stars in the flick about a woman who is institutionalised by her stepfather and retreats to an alternative reality as a coping mechanism. The 28-year-old Limitless star says while filming the demanding action sequences in the movie, she was surprised to discover that she likes guns. In an interview in US GQ magazine’s April issue, she said: “I’m a vegetarian I’m not the type to want to go shoot a gun. “Then I actually got to the [shooting] range and totally fell in love with an M4. It was kind of amazing.” Cornish split with Phillippe in early 2010 after dating for four years.
