Gemma Arterton has spoken about the pressure she received from a director to do a sex scene early in her career, admitting that she “flat out” refused to do it.
The actor protested by saying: “No, this scene was written for us to be off-screen, so you just hear the noises.
She also revealed that the incident occurred before intimacy coordinators were introduced who have “totally changed the landscape”.
Recently, two prolific intimacy coordinators have called on prestigious film and TV awards to recognise the role that has become crucial to modern movie-making.
