   At a location in Scotland, Anne Hathaway showed her backside to Jim Sturgess to set the mood for filming the skinny-dipping scene. Although she did so in a position where the crew could not film it, she had not anticipated that several residents of the housing complex behind her were using their mobile phones. Surprisingly, as of August 2011 the footage had not been published online, and Hathaway says she is grateful that the residents had the "class" to refrain from doing so.
