Kiefer Sutherland's romance with ex-fiancee Julia Roberts broke down after their sex life vanished.
Roberts, who once branded the 24 actor "young and silly" for proposing to her, called off the couple's wedding just days before they were due to walk up the aisle in 1991.
And Sutherland admits that although he felt a strong connection with the Pretty Woman star, their relationship collapsed when the passion burned out.
He tells Elle UK, "Well, at the time, I wanted to raise horses on a farm in Montana, and she was the number one actress on the planet.
"That didn't create a specific rift but there was a gulf in what we actually wanted.
"There was a huge connection between us but... it was more like friends than the passionate relationship that she or I would have wanted. She saw that; I did not."
MTV have announced that the actor will be just one of the stars that will he presenting at this year's Movie Awards.
Sutherland will be joined by Chris Pine and Sacha Baron Cohen as Bruno for presenting duties.
