Sexy hollywood films and hot film scenes

There was a talented sexy girl at my high school that went on to star in a hit HBO series.When she spoke with our school paper about this experience she shared an unhappy time filming a sex scene. At the 25th hour, her director upped the ante in terms of nudity and physical contact. Feeling unable to back out from her big break she acted professionally in sexy hollywood film scenes and afterwards she went to the bathroom to cry and hyperventilate. “That’s show business, kiddo” they say. Push your limits for your art of sexy film scene. Nevertheless after reading her story I didn’t want to watch that TV show or a hollywood sexy film.

Or any performance that features an actor sobbing into her merkin between takes. Butterflies are one thing. When Chloë Sevigny’s role in Hit&Miss required her to have a prosthetic penis glued to her foof I hardly expected her to be windmilling around the set with glee but hearing that she “felt like a freak” and “cried every day” was enough for me to lose interest. Nor am I thrilled to learn that Naomi Watts “kept on weeping and falling to pieces” during the Mulholland Drive masturbation scene.



Or that Marie Schneider was “crying real tears” and “felt a little raped” after Marlon Brando had a bright idea about a packet of butter in Last Tango In Paris - a sexy hollywood scene that wasn’t negotiated with Schneider before filming. If their distress doesn’t bother you, gentle reader, then consider this: Penelope Cruz was so troubled by the nudity in her debut film that she cut her hair short and “didn’t do any love scenes — not even kisses — for many years.” Ergo, the price we paid was to lose what may have amounted to even more footage of Cruz running around in her knickers.

 A cinematic tragedy, indeed. Perhaps it takes a certain quality to undress in a clinical environment. You won’t catch Julie Andrews or Halle Berry downing shots of vodka to get through a pretend spanking from Michael Fassbender, a la Kiera Knightley in A Dangerous Method. They radiate a good humoured approach to what Helen Mirren so Englishly refers to as “getting your kit off.” Berry claims that “if the world wouldn’t persecute me, I’d take nude pictures every day,” which is a funny reminder that if some actors exaggerate their distaste for nudity it’s because they’ve seen what happens to the women who enjoy themselves without penance.

 'Getting away with it' will always anger those who are insecure about their decision to ‘behave’ themselves. Naturally, it’s not about attitude alone because these ladies were afforded more respect than Schneider ever received.
