Sarah Silverman loves everything about Michael Sheen

Discussing a photograph of them at the Met Gala in New York City earlier this month, in which she's grabbing her boyfriend's butt, she told 'The View' today (23.05.14): "What am I supposed to say, I'm an ass man."

Sarah became flustered when asked if she's madly in love with the actor, but said: "Look, this is so awkward. Listen, I love his body, but I also love what's on the inside."

The 43-year-old beauty added: "He speaks foreign, he's foreign and on his show 'Masters of Sex' he speaks perfect American. And I'm like, 'If you can talk normal, why don't you do that all the time?' "

The couple were first spotted together at Michael's 45th birthday celebrations in February, where they were joined by Nicole Richie, Kate Hudson, Demi Moore and his former partner Kate Beckinsale and her husband Len Wiseman.

A source said at the time: "Sarah and Michael came and left together. She drove. When they left, Sarah opened her trunk so Michael could put all of his gifts in and then they drove away."

Michael - who has 14-year-old daughter Lily with Kate - briefly dated VH1 presenter Carrie Keagan last year and was in a relationship with his 'Midnight in Paris' co-star Rachel McAdams for two years until February 2013.

Sarah was previously in a relationship with Jimmy Kimmel, but they split in 2009 after five years together.
