Jake Gyllenhaal: 'one of the essential elements of a love story is sex'

Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaala Maggie and Jamie, driving the road of an addictive relationship in "Love and other drugs" (2010).

"The 30-year-old actor stars opposite Anne Hathaway in the comedy drama Love and Other Drugs, which charts the romantic relationship between a free-spirited woman named Maggie and a charming pharmaceutical sales rep named Jamie.

Jake and Anne filmed various sex scenes for the film and even posed together naked on the front cover of Entertainment Weekly magazine to promote the movie, but Jake has reiterated that the graphic nature of the scenes were important to the overall theme of the film.
“I think one of the essential elements of a love story is sex, and it should be. And if we were gonna be as open and intimate as we could be we’d have to do the same thing with sex. How can you believe these people are in love if they don’t wanna be naked around one another? I don’t know about you guys but I’ve never had sex with boxers on, it’s an odd thing,” he told Cover Media. “That was really important to us, somewhere in somebody’s unconscious that we were two people in love, not just actors telling a love story.” Source: www.musicrooms.net
