foxnews.comLiam Neeson admitted that he is still uncomfortable with filming sex scenes despite shooting many over his decades-long career.
During an interview with Vanity Fair, the 70-year-old actor shared his thoughts on "You" star Penn Badgley's recent revelation that he requested to film fewer intimate scenes for the fourth season of his hit Netflix psychological thriller series. "Yeah, I absolutely agree and support him," the "Taken" star told the outlet. "I don’t like to do them." He continued, "I’ve done quite a few of sex scenes and I would have preferred to leave it to the imagination, especially for ladies, the actresses." Neeson also acknowledged that he doesn't enjoy watching sex scenes in movies or television series. "I’ll be honest, when I see a sex scene, I just can’t look at them.
I just get embarrassed," he said. The Ireland native added, "I know they are choreographed and stuff, but I don’t need to see that." Badgley recently made headlines when he revealed on his "Popcrushed" podcast that he discussed his wish to no longer film intimate scenes with "You" creator Sera Gamble ahead of the show's fourth season.
The "Gossip Girl" alum said he specifically asked Gamble, "Can I just do no more intimacy scenes?" He added that ideally there would be "zero" of those moments in the show.
