Amy Adams was quizzed by Richard Madden about how she deals with shooting intim--- scenes for 'Sharp Objects' and admitted she never finds them "easy".
The 44-year-old actress was quizzed by Richard Madden for Variety's Actors on Actors feature about how she deals with shooting intim--- scenes for her hit HBO series 'Sharp Objects' and admitted that she doesn't find n---- scenes easy as "intim--- is so personal".
Richard asked Amy: "How do you get your head into that?"
The 'Enchanted' star replied: "Whiskey. No, I didn't drink at all except once, and that was because I felt the character had to come from such a raw place and her need had to be there.
"That was scary for me to go to a place of that deep dysfunction. And intim---- is so personal. It's not easy. None of it's easy for me."
When Amy then enquired about how Richard found inti--- scenes himself, the Scottish actor confessed that he finds it easier to "speak" to his co-stars whilst undressed as the pair are both more "exposed".
She asked: "But what about you?"
Richard replied: "I always find that there's something when you've not got your clothes on, when you are in bed with someone, there's a way you speak to each other, there's a side that you expose that we just couldn't do if we were both fully dressed in bed."
Richard shot n-de and lovemaking scenes in his hit BBC drama 'The Bodyguard', n---- sequences in HBO fantasy series 'Game of Thrones' and had to romp with Taron Egerton in Elton John biopic 'Rocketman'.
Although Richard feels n-de scenes are necessarily creatively, he's now taken a harder line with nudity and will always ensure that it's an essential part of the plotline before he agrees to stripping off.
He said: "I read scripts where, within the first 15 pages it says, he gets into the shower and I think, 'I know exactly what this is.' It's just a scene to get me to take my clothes off. Then I'm like, 'Right can you f---ing explain why it's important for me to have to take my shirt off then ?' I will absolutely do it but if they can't - which they often can't - then I won't."
