Reese Witherspoon says her and co-star Joaquin Phoenix got "sick" of each other while filming Johnny Cash biopic, 'Walk The Line'.

The 'Legally Blonde' actress said towards the end of filming they could hardly bear to be near each other.

She said: "We had so much time together. He'd get sick of me. I'd get sick of him. He'd make me stand further away because my singing was too loud."

Meanwhile, Phoenix is to host a special screening of the movie at Folsom State Prison - the place where Cash famously played a controversial concert for inmates.

The Hollywood actor, who stars as the late country singer in the film, will introduce the movie at the screening, organised by the film's distributors 20th Century Fox, on January 3.

Cash's original performance at the Californian jail, in 1968, was made into a live album and the concert is depicted in the critically acclaimed movie.
