There was already a level of comfort between Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway when they arrived on the set of "Love and Other Drugs." The two had a love scene together in "Brokeback Mountain" and, despite that shoot lasting only eight days, the pair already saw "potential" for another project together.

"I knew Jake was a great guy and that he was a gentleman," Hathaway said in her interview with HitFix. And not that those are two qualities that are required for chemistry on screen, but it certainly helped in "Other Drugs," considering the amount of screen time -- and "the unusual amount of nudity" -- there was in the script.
In fact, the nudity was one factor Hathaway considered before she finally, formally signed on.

"She had questions about the character itself," Gyllenhaal mentioned.
