Apparently Eva Longoria's partner, Tony Parker's French accent is so soothing it sends her to sleep.

The Desperate Housewives star revealed to Glamour magazine that she dozes off while Parker speaks: "I say, 'Honey, I don't care if you're saying bad words, just speak'.

"I actually fall asleep to his voice. He has to do interviews when it's late for us and early for France, so often we're in bed. I'll be asleep in two seconds."

Reportedly Longoria enjoys the language so much she's trying to learn it and intends to practice until she is fluent: "I want to get to the point where I can talk about the meaning of life," she said.
