| Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal in Love and other Drugs |
Anne – who has taken off her clothes for parts in 'Havoc', 'Brokeback Mountain' and 'Love And Other Drugs' - said: "I was more nervous about the accent than nudity.
"I mean, you can do sit-ups as prep for the nudity. But there aren't a lot of vocal sit-ups that you can do. Maybe it's because I have more experience in my life being naked than pretending to be British.

"So I got more comfortable quickly with the nudity than I did with the accent."
Despite her difficulties, the actress – who was born in New York and raised for most of her childhood in New Jersey - worked hard at mastering the accent, but was disappointed that she never dreamt in her British voice.
Anne – who read the book 'Watching the English: the Hidden Rules of English Behaviour' to held her with her accent – told The Sun newspaper: "I stayed in the accent and used British-isms. I was a little disappointed because I hoped I would start dreaming in the accent.
"That one morning I would just wake up and be in the accent. But that never happened. But once I was in it, the American accent became the 'other'. It was hard to mix the two so I just wound up staying in it all the time. At the wrap party it freaked people out when I started talking like me."
