Bruce Willis isn't dating Drew Barrymore

Hollywood actor Bruce Willis is dismissing reports that he is dating actress Drew Barrymore, insisting just because he gave his friend a kiss, doesn't mean they are involved romantically.

Willis had been spotted kissing Ms Barrymore at a recent social event.

The actor told Playboy magazine: "Drew and i are old friends. I hadn't seen her for a long time, and i gave her a kiss. There were other things going on in the room that night that weren't reported, things far racier than my giving Drew a kiss.

If it's against the law to kiss a beautiful actress who is a friend of mine, then lock me up and take me to the gulag. I'm a simple guy, and i'm having a hard enough time in the world of romance without somebody giving me shit for kissing Drew."
