​Getting intimate in reel life

Sex scenes are surely beautiful to watch but have you ever thought what actors experience while filming them? Surrounded by the cast and crew, with director asking for retakes, it can turn out to be quite an embarrassing task. Here are some celebrities who opened up on this topic…

2/11

​Kate Winslet

<p>"You can literally be tangled in sheets and you turn to the other actor and say, 'What the fuck are we doing?' Dear Mum, at work today I had so-and-so's left nut sack pressed against my cheek. It's sort of unethical if you think about it in those terms.”<br></p>
3/11

​Deepika Padukone

<p>"I think the fact that we are comfortable with each other whether it's intimate scenes, romantic scene or angry scene or action scene. The fact remains that we are comfortable working with each other and that's why we signed the film. When you are doing scenes we don't think like ex girlfriend or ex boyfriend we are there as characters. In Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Ranbir is there as Bunny and I am there as Naina Talwar. Ayan is our common friend and if he would have thought that we will be uncomfortable he would have not got us into the film.”<br></p>

Anne Hathaway

"There is that revoltingly embarrassing moment when you have to take your clothes off in front of strangers. I mean, I don't go to the beach in a bikini for a reason. So I thought,OK, I'm going to be in control. I'm going to do everything properly, disrobe at the last minute, and in between shots get the clothes back on. But then I found that every time I put my robe back on, it rubbed all the body makeup off, and that added 20 minutes to filming."

5/11

​Ranveer Singh

<p>"In Befikre, you see kissing as a normal thing, just like a hug — an act of warmth and love. 'Labon Ka Karobaar' is just perfect as the mood-setter for the film, to show that if you love someone, be carefree and show it with a kiss." (Image: Instagram)<br></p>

​Margot Robbie

<p>"There isn't an option. It's just like, this is what you need to do – get on with it. The sooner you do it, the sooner you can stop doing it."<br></p>
7/11

​Mila Kunis

<p>“I mean, regardless there's like 150 crew men watching and you see each other's bits and pieces. The whole thing is just wrong.”<br></p>
8/11

​Anne Hathaway

<p>"There is that revoltingly embarrassing moment when you have to take your clothes off in front of strangers. I mean, I don't go to the beach in a bikini for a reason. So I thought,OK, I'm going to be in control. I'm going to do everything properly, disrobe at the last minute, and in between shots get the clothes back on. But then I found that every time I put my robe back on, it rubbed all the body makeup off, and that added 20 minutes to filming."<br></p>
9/11

​Kirsten Dunst

<p>“I am on the floor and my clothes are being ripped [in The Beguiled]. I don't like it, I don't like it. To be honest, I'm like, 'Let's get this over with as fast as possible.' At least Sofia's like, 'We're going to get this done quick, we're just gonna shoot it here, we'll do three takes, be done.”<br></p>
10/11

​Cameron Diaz

<p>“It’s just a part of the role. So I did it. I mean, you see everything.”<br></p>
11/11

​Jon Hamm

<p>"It's like running in the rain. There's a certain point where you go, 'Fuck it, I'm already wet. I'm not going to get any less wet so I might as well enjoy how this feels."<br></p><p>(Images: Shutterstock)</p>
