K.J. Yossman Sean Bean’s “Snowpiercer” co-star Lena Hall has responded to his remarks that intimacy coordinators “spoil the spontaneity” of a sex scene.Bean made the comments to the U.K.’s Times Magazine in an interview to promote his latest BBC series, “Marriage.” “I think the natural way lovers behave would be ruined by someone bringing it right down to a technical exercise,” he told the magazine, adding that Hall, with whom he’d had a number of intimate and nude scenes in “Snowpiercer,” “was up for anything” because of her “musical cabaret background.”Bean is best known for his turns as Ned Stark in “Game of Thrones” and Boromir in The Lord of the Rings trilogy while Hall has starred in numerous Broadway productions, including shows such as “Kinky Boots” and “Cats” as well as making on-screen appearances in shows including “Girls” and “All My Children.” In response to Variety’s article covering Bean’s comments, Hall posted an eight-part Twitter thread in which she said: “Just because I am in theater (not cabaret, but I do perform them every once in a while) does not mean that I am up for anything.
