Oh I am sure there were negotiations carried out in secret! Weren't there some pics from when they were filming Scar that seemed to show Jamie in a state of, well, *interest*, shall we say? (I thought I had saved some of them but apparently I have lost the links, woe is me).
There is also.... somewhere, if I remember correctly, some caps of the bit in Hornblower where they're about to jump off the cliff into the sea that the comment was made about the actors getting 'prepared' for the big scene. My image search-fu is failing me today though, and I can't seem to find it. But it does indicate precedent...
