Hollywood actors Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal have stripped for a magazine cover and given some candid shots to promote their upcoming comedy "Love & Other Drugs".
The actors are seen in a jolly mood, and Gyllenhaal has his arms wrapped around Hathaway for three different covers, reports dailymail.co.uk.
They also had a few steamy scenes in the film, and Hathaway says she "totally fell apart" the first time they were expected to take their clothes off.
She shared how director Edward Zwick took off his clothes as well and climbed into bed with both actors to lighten the mood while shooting the sex scenes.
But the actors gradually became used to nudity in the film, says Gyllenhaal.
"We were, like, having fake sex and being like, 'Knock the pot off, knock the pot off'. I was not focusing on her at all and instead focusing on knocking the pot off for Ed (the director)," he added.
Gyllenhaal, 29, and Hathaway, 28, play respectively a Viagra pharmaceutical sales representative and a free-spirited woman in the film.
According to Gyllenhaal, they were naked 65 percent of the time while shooting the project.

Angelina Jolie needs to be careful if she wins her second Academy Award this year (09), after misplacing the first statuette she received at the prestigious ceremony.
The actress has been nominated for a Best Actress prize for her performance in Changeling and will go up against Anne Hathaway, Kate Winslet, Melissa Leo and Meryl Streep in the category on the 22 February.
I didn't actually lose it. But nobody knows where it is at the moment.
But if she walks away victorious, she won't be able to pair the gong with the Best Supporting Actress award she won in 1999 for Girl, Interrupted - because she has no clue where that Oscar is.
Jolie handed it to her mother Marcheline Bertrand, who hid it away, but has since died.
She explains, "I didn't actually lose it. But nobody knows where it is at the moment."

Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway has raved about Scarlett Johansson and Beyonce Knowles for their curvy figures and praised the pair as good role models for youngsters.
“The Devil Wears Prada” star has recently been lambasted for being too skinny, although the 27-year-old is adamant she is a "normal shape", reported contactmusic.com.
Hathaway has hailed Johansson, Knowles, and fellow actress Reese Witherspoon for projecting healthy body images at a time when super-slim is often seen as an ideal.
"I don't think its just Hollywood that gives out that message. As a society we put out these unrealistic body images to young women, ” Hathaway said.
She added: "I'm a normal shape and Scarlett Johansson is not a skinny girl. Beyonce Knowles looks after herself and has a beautiful body. While, Reese Witherspoon looks great."

Hollywood actress Kate Winslet got so emotional during her Golden Globes acceptance speech that she failed to remember actress Angelina Jolie's name while acknowledging her fellow nominees. The 33-year-old actress walked way with two Golden Globe gongs for Best Actress for Revolutionary Road and Best Supporting Actress for The Reader.
While accepting the Best actress award Winslet remembered nominees Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Kristin Scott Thomas but forgot the Changeling star. "I'm so sorry Anne, Meryl, Kristin - and who's the other one? Angelina. Now forgive me, is this really happening?" the Telegraph quoted her as saying.
She gave a special thanks to her Revolutionary Road co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, who played her on-screen husband, saying: "I have loved you with all my heart." She also thanked her husband, Sam Mendes, for directing Revolutionary Road, which features a sex scene with DiCaprio.
"Thank you for killing us every single day," she told Mendes "I loved every second of working with you," she added.

Golden Globe organisers have issued an apology for mistakenly stating Anne Hathaway as the winner of the Best Actress category on its website. An asterisk had appeared to the star’s name in the list of nominees - even though the award ceremony was to take place on January 11. According to the statement on the website, the actress, who is nominated for Rachel Getting Married, had been 'randomly marked as a winner' by accident, reports the BBC.
The statement said: "In the process of preparing for Sunday's Golden Globe Awards, a technician working on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's (HFPA) website made a mistake and a name of a nominee was randomly marked as a winner. The mistake was immediately corrected."

Anne Hathaway has revealed that she broke off with her ex boyfriend Raffaello Follieri over a bunch of dead flowers.
The ‘Rachel Getting Married’ beauty said that she realized that he wasn’t the one for her when he insisted to throw out an arrangement of wilting cherry blossom branches.
They lasted a month and were beautiful even as they died, The Sun quoted her as saying of the flowers.
She added: Raffaello always liked things fancier and perfect and told our maid to throw them out. That was when I knew we saw things differently.
And what looks like, Anne would have anyhow dumped the businessman after he was convicted on charges of fraud.
In October, Follieri was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison after pleading guilty to 14 counts of fraud, money laundering and conspiracy at Manhattan federal court.
