The pair were in a naked embrace on the set of forthcoming film 'Then She Found Me' but the mood was ruined when a crew member suffered a bout of extremely loud flatulence.
English actor Firth – who had to re-shoot the scene – is quoted by Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "Helen's character plays my children's school teacher and one of the most emotional parts of the film is when she comes to sleep on the floor of the room where I am with the kids. It's very, very quiet and we can’t speak too loudly.
"There was a camera at floor level – then somebody down there broke wind incredibly loudly. It was not silent - it was deadly! Then there was this silence, this paralysis in the room. Helen, who was in my arms, asked, 'What just happened?' Some very noble soul put his hand up and admitted that they did it."
'Then She Found Me', directed by Hunt, is set for release in the US in May and the rest of the world in the summer.
