Joanna Lumley<\/a> thinks sex scenes are “revolting”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Joanna Lumley hated shooting sex scenes<\/p>\n

The 77-year-old actress has always hated shooting sex scenes, likening them to making “soft porn”, and Joanna would actually like them to be cut altogether.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on her early years in the film and TV business, she told the Guardian newspaper: “Oh, everybody stripped. Everybody had to, from Diana Rigg to Julie Christie<\/a>, we all had to take at least our tops off in something. <\/p>\n

“It was standard and it was this, \u2018You\u2019re not a real actress unless you take your top off.\u2019 Nobody liked it, like nobody likes intimate kissing or sex scenes. All this ghastly stuff we have to pretend to do. <\/p>\n

“Everybody knows it\u2019s pretending and it\u2019s kind of soft porn, and now we\u2019ve got coaches to teach us how to do it. Thank God I\u2019m beyond it now.”<\/p>\n

\nJoanna thinks intimacy coaches are “probably a nice thing”.<\/p>\n

\nHowever, the ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ star still believes that sex scenes should be scrapped altogether.<\/p>\n

\nThe veteran actress said: “I find them intolerable! I think they\u2019re revolting, I don\u2019t know why people write them and I don\u2019t know why we watch them.<\/p>\n

\n“We wouldn\u2019t have films of people sitting on the loo. There are some things which are private.”<\/p>\n

\nAsked if she felt there was an exploitative element to her topless scenes, Joanna replied: “Oh, it always is. But there are lots of other things you have to do in life which are horrible, and you never wanted to do them, and you find yourself caught up with them. <\/p>\n

\n“Also remember, the world … we [had been] four girls sharing a flat but we weren\u2019t allowed to sign the lease \u2013 a man had to. Men were always paid more, always top dog, and you could be sacked from a film if you didn\u2019t take your top off. So then a lot of people go, \u2018Shall I just take my top off and remain in the film?\u2019 It was a different world.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
