For a start, 'Sex Tape' features an on-screen partnership that film-lovers have seen before, Diaz and Segel both starred in 2011's 'Bad Teacher', and their shared scenes were among the funniest of the whole movie.

However, as the pair are mostly associated with comedic roles, it will be interesting to see how they attempt to pull off their intimate sex scenes, which they recently opened up about to Entertainment Weekly.

"I think we were really kind of spur of the moment with it," Segel said. "What was really amazing about doing it with Cameron is I think she and I come from a similar place when it comes to comedy. We don't have a tremendous sense of pride or shame."

"It was really like doing it with a buddy, which was cool," he added. "And the thing about the sex tape, they need to be embarrassed that it gets out...we really didn't want it to be sensual or sexy."

"You wanted it to be kind of ridiculous, and absurd and humiliating," Diaz elaborated.
