Anne Hathaway has no problem going naked on set — as long as she’s not the only one.
In the November issue of Vogue, the actress revealed she had a tough time going nude for “Love and Other Drugs,” Edward Zwick’s dramedy co-starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a Viagra Salesman.
“These are people who have no trouble taking their clothes off — in a way, their bodies are their currency,” she told the fashion magazine. “But they’re terrified of exposing their vulnerability, of becoming emotionally naked.”
The 27-year-old “Rachel Getting Married” star said she “totally fell apart” during the shoot, until director Edward Zwick stepped out from behing the camera.
“I said, ‘What do you want me to do?'” he said, according to nymag.com. “And they said, ‘You take your clothes off,'”
Zwick got into bed with the two stars and posed for photographs with them to lighten the mood.
“[The art director] stripped me out and put Annie’s head on Jake’s shoulder, and that’s the movie poster,” he told the magazine.
The “Love and Other Drugs” set was not the first in which Gyllenhaal had to deal with an emotional co-star. According to usmagazine.com, Gwyneth Paltrow was a “mess” while shooting their 2005 film, “Proof.”
“I was pregnant and I was a f—ing nightmare hormonal mess,” Paltrow said at Elle’s 17th Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute, “but we managed to stay friends through it anyways.”
“Love and Other Drugs” premieres Nov. 24.
