The romance stuff is easy. A sex scene... that's hard, because you don't know what to do. Those scenes are awkward.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's always a little nerve-wracking to do a love scene, more than anything because it's just awkward.
I think all movie love scenes are hard because you can't truly be as intimate as you would be with anyone you're truly with, and everyone's watching you.
You can't make an action movie without action, and so, you can't make a romance movie without romance.
When romance is done well in a movie, it's awesome.
I happen to know there is nothing sexy or romantic about love scenes. They are just awful to do.
The thing about romance and romantic movies is that they can be somewhat melodramatic. For a lot of actors, there's a certain cringe factor that's involved with that.
I wouldn't treat a romantic scene any differently than any other scene. I would really say the biggest preparation was chewing gum and breath mints! For a kissing scene, it's all about the breath mints!
To do a romantic scene is the most unromantic thing to do on screen.
I actually find it harder to act in the scenes where there's not much happening, say having a milkshake in the diner. That is far harder to do than straight scenes where there's a drama going on and you have something to do.
I don't find intimate scenes more difficult than other scenes.
