Make love with a film star? (6)
I believe the answer is:
brando
'a film star?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'make love' is the wordplay.
'make' becomes 'brand' (synonyms).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'brand'+'o'='BRANDO'
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brando that I've seen before include "actor in 4 26 21 [A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE]" , "Oscar-winning actor" , "Marlon -, US actor" , "FILMSTAR" , "Marlon --, film actor" .)
