Soul star Robin Thicke had to "man up" after watching his wife make love to chart rival Andre 3000 onscreen in Idlewild - because he found himself struggling to deal with the film romance.

Thicke, the son of actor Alan Thicke, admits he attempted to drink away the memory of his wife, Paula Patton, in clinches with the Outkast star.

He recalls, "I was a total f---ing drag. Being vulnerable and sensitive is a good thing, but being a bitch-ass with no strength? No woman wants that. I had to man up."
