Hathaway, Gyllenhaal talked about their sex lives to portray lustful couple
By ANIFriday, December 31, 2010
WASHINGTON - Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal discussed their own bedroom experiences to perfect their saucy clinches in ‘Love And Other Drugs’.
The film is about a Viagra salesman and the two actors had to strip off to shoot a number of saucy scenes.
And to help them portray a lustful couple, the ‘Brokeback Mountain’ co-stars discussed their own romantic histories and watched old movies to decide how best to film the intimate moments.
“We had to go to a lot of emotionally and physically vulnerable places and we spent a lot of time rehearsing. We watched a lot of love scenes that have been done throughout film history and talked about which ones we liked and which ones we didn’t,” Contactmusic quoted Hathaway as telling Britain’s Daily Mirror.
“We talked about our own experiences with love and intimacy, about what turned us on and what didn’t. So it was completely open from the get-go. Jake described it as a kind of intellectual orgy and I think that sums it up best,” she added. (ANI)
