THERE are a lot of hot sex scenes on TV these days. But Jessica Jonesstar Krysten Ritter says filming the intimate moments are not steamy at all.
Talking with Outlander star Sam Heughan in Variety’s Actors on Actors series, Ritter — who plays the title character in the Netflix show — admitted she doesn’t enjoy filming the scenes.
“I don’t like doing sex scenes, but with Jessica, I always felt like the sex scenes came from such a place of character and strength so it always made sense to me,” she said.
“It’s so not sexy and people don’t get it. Because you really don’t want to be doing that for 10 hours. Having everybody’s eyes on you, sometimes, it’s difficult. There are days when that’s like, ‘Aww man, I wish I could just, like, disappear for a day’.”
While Ritter doesn’t go fully nude in her sex scenes, Heughan does in Outlander. And he agreed it’s “tough” and “not sexy”.
“We always talk to the producers and the writers and work out how it moves the relationship forward or what it reveals about the character,” he said. “But our show is definitely a central relationship and so we learn a lot about our characters through their sex life.”
“We always approach it like a play. You go through it and work out exactly what you want the audience to feel or see, and then you just have to literally block it out and it becomes so almost mechanical.”
