Toronto: US actress Drew Barrymore Tuesday brushed off a sexy magazine photo shoot showing her locking lips with co-star Ellen Page as nothing more than two friends having fun, like "loveable puppy dogs."

The pair, who star in the new film `Whip It` a roller derby romp, were snapped in a smouldering kiss for the upcoming October issue of Marie Claire magazine. "We`re just loveable puppy dogs and we have affection and fun and we`re frolicky," said former child star Barrymore, who makes her directorial debut in "Whip It," which premiered at the Toronto film festival. "That kiss is emblematic of all of us just going, `We found some awesome friends here and that party continues` and that is a rare and beautiful thing on a film." And she added: "People can read into it what they want and I find that delicious and funny." Set in the world of roller derby, which is making a grassroots comeback after being knocked in the 1970s as sexual exploitation of women and not a real sport, "Whip It" stars Page as an unlikely beauty contestant seeking to belong. It is her first major role since her Academy Award-nominated performance in "Juno," which premiered in Toronto in 2007. The film also stars Juliette Lewis, Jimmy Fallon, Eve and Alia Shawcat.
