Los Angeles, Sept 07: Actress Thandie Newton recently got so cautious about her health and fitness that on the sets of her film, she forced director Guy Ritchie to fake a sex scene between her and co-star Gerard Butler, because the Scottish actor was suffering from a cold.

According to Contactmusic, the couple was supposed to leap between the sheets for the steamy scene, but when Butler arrived on set for the shoot, he was found to be sick. And Newton got so scared of catching his cold that she denied to make love to him.

Thandie was quoted by Contactmusic saying, "Gerry was very unwell indeed. So I wouldn`t kiss him. Guy had to improvise. I don`t know how he coped with those problems but it ended up being one of the most brilliant scenes."
