Los Angeles - Finding the perfect man is nothing but a fantasy and Heather Locklear would not have it any other way.
Even though she stars in The Perfect Man, Locklear told reporters recently: "Perfect doesn't really exist. There's no perfect man. There's no perfect woman or person."
Locklear, married to Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, doesn't mind, though. "Imperfections" are what make people more exciting anyway, she said.
"There are people that can be perfect for each other," added Hilary Duff.
In the film, Locklear plays a single mom working in a bakery who has some desperate emotional bent for hooking up with losers. Duff tries to solve her mom's romantic pangs by creating an ideal — but fictional — beau.
Though this is not the first time Locklear, 43, has played a mother, it took a while to get used to having a teenager for a daughter.
"Maybe a year before I was Dakota Fanning's mother," she said about her movie Uptown Girls with the then nine-year-old Fanning.
"And then when I was in Dynasty, I had a little baby; no one ever saw this baby. Well, now, 17. Well, OK. It's not impossible. I had to swallow my pride just a bit. But look at my daughter! How great!"
The Perfect Man, also starring Chris Noth, finished seventh at the box office this past weekend, taking in $5.5m.
