November 23, 2010 : To promote their upcoming comedy film ‘Love & Other Drugs’, Hollywood heart throbs Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal have taken off their clothes to pose for a magazine cover. The pair were completely at ease during these candid shots and were in a good mood. Gyllenhaal has his arms wrapped around Hathaway for three different covers.
Posing nude for ‘Entertainment Weekly’, Anne Hathaway commented “I mean, I don’t go to the beach in a bikini for a reason,” Anne told the magazine. “So I thought, ‘Okay, I’m going to be in control. I’m going to do everything properly, disrobe at the last minute, and in between shots get the clothes back on.’ But then I found that every time I put my robe back on, it rubbed all the body makeup off, and that added 20 minutes to filming.”
Gyllenhaal said ‘We were, like, having fake sex and being like, ‘Knock the pot off, knock the pot off’. I was not focusing on her at all and instead focusing on knocking the pot off for Edward (the director)’.
29-year-old Gyllenhaal and 28-year old Hathaway play a Viagra pharmaceutical sales representative and a free-spirited woman respectively in the film. They also had a few steamy scenes in the film, and Hathaway says she ‘totally fell apart’ the first time they were expected to take their clothes off. She shared how to lighten the moods of the actors, director Edward Zwick took off his clothes as well and climbed into bed with them while shooting the sex scenes. But over a period of time, the actors became used to nudity in the film, says Gyllenhaal as they were naked nearly 65 percent of the time while shooting the project.
