...film, Ryan portrays Jack, an affluent Harvard student who travels on a boat from England to his second home —an 11th century chateau near Angers, France. In the opening scene, Jack is crossing the English Channel on a ferry when he bumps into Danny, a horny film student traveling through Europe. In a scene borrowed from Titanic, Jack points to his necklace and asks the loaded question, “Can you photograph me wearing this. . .only this...
...some dirty porn star, but then I realized he was just another kid with the same ambitions as me.” Ryan doubted, however, whether his co-star was legitimately attracted to him or just following the script.
