Jake Gyllenhaal: It Was a Nude Fest on Set of ‘Love and Other Drugs’

Love and Other Drugs co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway attended the film’s Opening Night Gala during AFI Fest 2010 in Hollywood, California on Thursday night. Edward Zwick’s upcoming comedy-drama is scheduled to hit theaters on November 24, and Access Hollywood caught up with the film’s lead actors at last night’s event to ask about their thoughts on the project.

“It was a nude fest on set,” Gyllenhaal candidly revealed to Access Hollywood. “[Zwick] was equally devoted to the nakedness as we were.” When he was asked to describe how it felt to reunite with his Brokeback Mountain co-star in Love and Other Drugs, Gyllenhaal evaluated Hathaway’s performance and gave a sterling review.

“She gives an incredible performance in this movie and when you’re working with somebody who’s got the goods... it’s easy,” he said at the Opening Night Gala. “It was fantastic, she’s amazing.”

As for Hathaway, who told Vogue last month that she felt the nudity was an integral component of the characters in the film, she told Access Hollywood that she hopes Love and Other Drugs’ adult theme does not scare off potential 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?’” she revealed. “I think it’s one of those [films] that you have to know someone really well to recommend it to them, but hopefully people won’t hesitate.”
