You always hear actresses talk about how unromantic it is to act a love scene or a sex scene - which it is. You're doing it with all these lights on and cameras flying around and people on the set.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Intimate scenes on a movie set are just dry, bizarre things; people standing around.
To do a romantic scene is the most unromantic thing to do on screen.
If you're a female and you get asked by someone who shoots the most beautiful female scenes to be in their film, it's kind of exciting.
It's always a little nerve-wracking to do a love scene, more than anything because it's just awkward.
I happen to know there is nothing sexy or romantic about love scenes. They are just awful to do.
It's very liberating to be naked in front of a hundred people, but there's nothing sexual about lovemaking on a movie set.
Actors must practice restraint, else think what might happen in a love scene.
What's powerful about a love scene is not seeing the act. It's seeing the passion, the need, the desire, the caring, the fear.
I think when you get on with the actors that you're working with, even if you do have really intimate scenes, as long as you get on well, and have a bit of a laugh while doing it, then it's fine.
A sex scene is gratuitous when it only exists for its own sake.
