Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway reunite on the big screen in the upcoming “Love & Other Drugs,” but the actors left their clothes behind.
“It was a nude fest on set,” Jake told Access Hollywood at the “Love & Other Drugs” Opening Night Gala during AFI FEST 2010 in Los Angeles. “We were naked a lot.”
It wasn’t only Jake and Anne who were disrobing for the love of their craft – director Ed Zwick also lost his clothes while filming.
“He was equally devoted to the nakedness as we were,” Jake said.
As far as his reunion with Anne, the 29-year-old actor was overjoyed to work his “Brokeback Mountain” co-star once again.
”[Anne] gives like an incredible performance in this movie and when you’re working with somebody who’s got the goods… it’s easy,” he explained. “Working with Anne was like playing with a great tennis player… it was fantastic, she’s amazing.”
When it comes to the nudity, Anne told Access she hopes the film’s adult themes won’t scare off viewers.
”[It’s] a lot racy, a lot racy, I keep talking to people who’ve seen the film I’m like, ‘Was it too sexy for you? You OK?’” she told Access. “I think it’s one of those [films] that you have to know someone really well to recommend it to them, but hopefully people wont hesitate to [see it.]”
“Love & Other Drugs” hits the big screen on November 24, 2010.
