Hollywood actor has come under heavy scrutiny from fellow actors and fans alike for his "disappointing" views.Sean, who has been credited for his work on Sharpe, Troy and Game of Thrones, was asked about intimacy coordinators, who choreograph sex scenes and ensure actors feel comfortable.They became a standard figure on sets after the rise of the #MeToo movement, most notably for the protection of female actors.When asked about it, Sean replied: "I should imagine it slows down the thrust of it.

Ha, not the thrust, that’s the wrong word."It would inhibit me more because it’s drawing attention to things."Somebody saying, ‘Do this, put your hand there, while you touch his thing…’"I think the natural way lovers behave would be ruined by someone bringing it right down to a technical exercise."Speaking about the unaired sex scene with his co-star Lena Hall, in Snowpiercer, he told The Times Magazine: "This one had a musical cabaret background, so she was up for anything."Express.co.uk have contacted Sean Bean's representatives for comment.This has led many actors in the industry to speak out against Sean, including West Side Story star Rachel Zegler.Rachel was 17 when she filmed love scenes with 25-year-old Ansel Elgort in West Side Story.She wrote on Twitter: "Intimacy coordinators establish an environment of safety for actors.

i was extremely grateful for the one we had on WSS— they showed grace to a newcomer like myself + educated those around me who’ve had years of experience."Spontaneity in intimate scenes can be unsafe.

wake up." (sic)Lena also took to Twitter to clarify Sean's comments with several tweets after she was bombarded with comments.She clarified that the scene in question "wasn't a naked scene" and that just.
