Denise Richards on Honoring Patrick Muldoon & Their Final Film 'Dirty Hands' (Exclusive)

Denise Richards is dishing on her gritty new thriller “Dirty Hands,” which reunited her with “Starship Troopers” co-star and former boyfriend Patrick Muldoon.

“Extra’s” Derek Hough spoke with Denise, who spoke about how they always loved working together throughout the years.

She shared, “We’ve reunited on so many films together over the years and have been so lucky and blessed to work with each other. Anytime we could work together, we have… We have always loved being on set together and there’s such a respect.”

According to Denise, Patrick was the one who told her about "Dirty Hands." The movie centers on the Denton brothers, who must fight for their lives after a drug deal goes bad.

“Our friendship had gone on for over 40 years, so I would have worked on anything with him,” Denise added. 

Richards admitted it was “tough to do press” for the movie after Pat suddenly passed away on April 19.

While his sudden death is “shocking,” Denise felt that he would want her to continue promote the film, saying, “He wants us to honor our project… He was so passionate about this movie.”

Denise called his passing “devastating” and said she hopes to honor him by sharing this project that was so dear to him. 

In the new movie, Denise and Patrick play a married couple, but they are at “a breaking point.”

She said of her character Sheila, "Sheila has been there by her man through thick and thin, however, I would say she's kind of at a... breaking point and with all the craziness in the movie at the end of the day... it's got a lot of heart in it. It's about redemption. It's about loyalty."

Denise has seen parts of the movie, calling Patrick’s last role his “best performance.”
