Young lovers Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult have found a way to keep their romance alive when they're both working on location - they ignore one another.

Rather than get upset when a text or phone message isn't returned, the couple has come up with a plan to avoid the frustrations of trying to keep a long-distance love affair alive and simply give each other the space to work.

Lawrence tells Marie Claire magazine, "When we're busy, we agree to mutually ignore each other. Not completely, but neither of us gets mad when the other doesn't text back or call. Life's super-busy.

"Obviously you know what they're doing, and you trust them... At least this way he's in the same boat as I am - we can go out and have our own lives and know that we have each other."
