Film regulators were poised to slap an 18-classification on the romantic comedy, which also stars Talulah Riley, meaning viewers under the age of 18 could not see the movie, reported Daily Express.

However, distributors were keen to land a 15 rating to open the film up to a younger audience and as a result, they have re-edited a saucy strip club scene.

"(The) distributor chose to reduce a focus on sexualised female nudity in a strip club scene in order to achieve a 15 classification. Cuts made in accordance with BBFC Guidelines and policy. An uncut 18 classification was available," a statement from the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) read.

The movie is set for release in October.
