London, Dec 21

Actress Anne Hathaway believes every actor should be prepared to be naked on screen if the role requires nudity.

The 28-year-old actress will be seen in some steamy scenes in her new film "Love and Other Drugs" alongside Jake Gyllenhaal. She is happy to take her clothes off for the cameras if the role requires nudity and she relies on her co-stars to help her overcome any pre-scene nerves, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Doing nudity is really a part of being an actor and you know at some point it might happen. But everyone wants to be respectful of each other and everyone wants each other to feel as comfortable as possible so I think those days have a focus," said Hathaway.

"In this film we really approached it from a very prepared place. We discussed what we wanted to do beforehand and what we were comfortable with, we traded references from other films to establish an index of communicational references that we share. So by the time we came to do the scenes we were very well prepared," she added.
