Danny and Debbie, 59, and Moore, 61, were on-screen lovers of About Last Night, which sees the pair struggling to navigate a serious relationship with no help from their families. As with most rom coms, the film had many intimate scenes - one of which left Lowe with a ligament injury so painful he groaned vociferously and didn't stop until director Edward Zwick said 'cut.' In his latest memoir, Hits, Flops, and Other Illusions, Zwick, 71, chronicles Leonardo DiCaprio's 'paging through a Victoria's Secret catalogue' while shooting Blood Diamond. 'Everyone looked away, embarrassed, trying to pretend that it wasn't happening until we discovered that Rob had torn his ACL,' he writes of the situation. Rob kept doing until I said, "cut," as Pro that he is.' 'The show had to go on,' they say.'
