Tragically, women in the film industry sometimes resort to the same numbing strategies as women in the porn industry, like the use of drugs and alcohol. Kiera Knightley said that she downed “a couple of shots of vodka – definitely -- beforehand.” Jennifer Lawrence said, “I got really, really drunk. But then that led to more anxiety.” Salma Hayek confessed, “I had to take a tranquilizer, which eventually stopped the crying but made the vomiting worse.”
Most of us assume that actresses sign up for on-screen sex and nudity with eyes wide open but, in reality, they often have no idea what they will be pressured to do on set. It is not uncommon for directors and producers to ambush young, inexperienced actresses with nude and sex scenes that were not in the contract.
The sex scene in Desperado that so traumatized Salma Hayek wasn’t even written into the script. According to Hayek, “It was demanded by the studio when they saw the chemistry” (on set between Hayek and Banderas). In the movie Frida, Harvey Weinstein, the convicted sexual abuser whose victims spearheaded the #MeToo movement, insisted that Hayek again film a nude sex scene that she had not consented to in advance: “I felt an immense pressure to deliver…
my mind understood that I had to do it, but my body wouldn’t stop crying and convulsing.”
Emilia Clarke recalled her excitement when offered her breakout role as Queen Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, only to learn later of the show’s explicit sex and nudity: “Oh, there’s the catch.” She reports that she found the experiences “terrifying” and between nude scenes would hide in the bathroom to cry.

The very idea that an actress would be abashed to do a sex scene is too funny for words.
They call it “drama” for a reason
Wait, am I supposed to feel sorry for empty headed liberal witches?
They can say no. If they’re miserable, ok.
But somehow they bring themselves to do it and then cash the check.
Did they have no idea of what an actress’ job consisted of?! I mean this seems a little .... disingenuous.
Hollywood actresses have NO IDEA, in advance, they will be asked to appear nude in scenes? Have they never seen other Hollywood movies with nude women in them?
So why did you?
Harvey had been sexually abusing women for YEARS, and nobody said a word.
Not really new. Some movies in the 1960s had two versions. One for release in the US without nudity, and one for release in Europe with nudity.
Now when shown on cable TV, the European version is often shown.
I disagree - they know what they are getting in for- word on the street is to loud and clear.
Reese Witherspoon confided about filming the sex scene in Wild: “I started to panic…it took up a tremendous amount of fear in my mind.… I was just terrified.”
Nicole Kidman revealed: “I felt very exposed and vulnerable and deeply humiliated at times…. I was just lying there, sort of broken and crying.”
Maria Schneider recounted her experience filming the infamous sex scene with Marlon Brando in Last Tango in Paris: “That scene wasn't in the original script. The truth is it was Marlon who came up with the idea…. I felt humiliated and to be honest, I felt a little raped… by Marlon.”
So why did you do it?
For money.
OF COURSE these people have to drug themselves to assuage their guilt. Repentance to God is what is needed, not more shots of booze.
Funny I don’t see the same reluctance from anti-gun actors filming scenes of mowing down scores of bad guys.
When I was younger, I did a sex movie with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.
Now....I feel so.....happy!
I’d like to do a sequel!
Maybe an HBO series!
A whore will do anything if you pay her enough money.
maybe they could give us an example of when an actress refused.
i thought so.
