Hugh Jackman has revealed Rachel Weisz found it hard to film the sex scenes for their new movie, The Fountain - because she was embarrassed about doing it in front of the film’s director and her fiance, Darren Aronofsky.

Hugh told the New York Daily News: “Darren wanted it to be clear they’re about to make love so, basically, I fall into the tub and we’re kissing and kissing.”

“And Rachel takes my shirt off and a minute or so later, we’re still kissing, and we heard this voice yell: ‘Take his pants off, Rachel!’

“Finally, Darren cuts and says: ‘Why didn’t you take his pants off?.’”

“[To which Rachel replied] ‘I was shy!’”
