00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the actors who have
00:08shared positive experiences regarding their participation in filming sex scenes.
00:1210. Anna Paquin
00:21After becoming the second youngest person to win an Oscar, Anna Paquin went on to star
00:32as Sookie Stackhouse on HBO's popular vampire drama, True Blood. Sookie falls for a vampire
00:39named Bill Compton, who is played by Stephen Moyer. And Stephen Moyer just happens to be
00:44Anna Paquin's real husband. The two fell in love while filming the pilot and have been
00:51married since 2010. Would it be weird to film a sex scene with your own partner? Not according
00:56to Paquin, she told V Magazine that it's really not that weird, saying,
01:01a love scene with someone you actually love, you know what your boundaries are. Or what
01:05they aren't, I suppose.
01:129. Phoebe Dynevor
01:29This English actress found success playing Daphne on the popular Netflix romance, Bridgerton.
01:34Daphne is romantically linked to the Duke of Hastings, Simon Bassett, played by Reggie
01:39Jean Page. And when it came to film the steamy scenes between Daphne and Simon, in came intimacy
01:45coordinator Lizzie Talbot.
01:55Phoebe Dynevor credits Talbot for making the love scenes a pleasant and untroubling
01:59experience. She told Glamour that they filmed the scenes like stunts, involving lots of
02:04practice and filmmaking trickery. She also credited Talbot with being a welcomed conduit
02:09between her and the director, as she wouldn't have felt as comfortable receiving instructions
02:14from a male.
02:198. Jon Hamm
02:34Don Draper is, shall we say, a bit of a sex symbol. Tall, handsome, mysterious, powerful,
02:41you can see why he had so many suitors. But it wasn't Mad Men that gave Jon Hamm some
02:46paws. It was Bridesmaids.
02:56During an interview with Playboy, Hamm revealed that filming scenes with Kristen Wiig was
03:00kind of awkward, owing to their size difference and the weird flesh-coloured thong he was
03:05forced to wear. However, he also said that the two eventually just went with it, claiming
03:10All the awkwardness melts away and you think, alright, we're doing this, so let's have
03:15fun with it. It certainly made a memorable opening scene, we'll tell you that.
03:227. Viola Davis
03:43For her role as Annalise Keating in How to Get Away with Murder, Viola Davis added the
03:49Emmy to her EGOT. This means that she has won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony.
03:55Davis is proud of the role, saying
04:05She told this to Tom Hanks during an episode of Variety's Actors on Actors. She also went
04:10into some detail regarding the sex scenes themselves, saying
04:136. Lily-Rose Depp
04:33Well-known for being Jolly Depp's daughter, Lily-Rose came into her own and made herself
04:37a star by playing Jocelyn in The Idol. And if you know anything about The Idol, you know
04:42that things get pretty darned heated. The HBO drama was ripped apart by critics, with
04:48many lambasting its lurid sexual content and the performance of The Weeknd. But the criticism
05:02didn't bother Depp, and neither did the sex scenes. She told Vogue Australia that the
05:06role and its provocative nature was really important to her, and something that she was
05:10excited about doing. She reportedly wanted to explore a highly sexualised world. And,
05:16well, let's just say she certainly did that.
05:235. Yael Stone
05:35Orange Is the New Black was an Emmy-winning prison drama, filled with memorable characters
05:39played by excellent actors. And while its quality was highly regarded throughout its
05:43run, the show also became famous for its steamy girl-on-girl action. And there was a lot of
05:50it. Laura Prepon didn't have a problem making out with Taylor Schilling, telling the Huffington
05:55Post they are so comfortable with each other. Yael Stone didn't have a problem either,
06:04which is good, because her scenes can get quite graphic. She also told the Huffington
06:09Post that the sex scenes are a privilege, and that it's great to be able to go into
06:14those private moments and try and be authentic.
06:204. Bradley Cooper
06:33Before becoming a household name, Bradley Cooper starred as Ben in the cult favourite
06:37Wet Hot American Summer. Ben is a gay man in love with McKinley, played by Michael Ian
06:42Black. Cooper was very welcoming of the subplot, and even provided some ideas for their physical
06:48interaction inside a shed. He told Esquire magazine that he gave some ideas to Black
06:58before shooting, one of which involved tube socks and a wall. Cooper later admitted to
07:04The Advocate that he was initially hesitant about taking on the role, but quickly got
07:08over it. As he succinctly explains,
07:103. Shailene Woodley
07:24Some actresses favour realism over comfort, and Shailene Woodley is one of them. In a
07:29cover story for The Hollywood Reporter, Woodley claimed that going topless is often necessary
07:34in depicting a realistic sex scene, rather than wearing a bra for modesty. She also spoke
07:39fondly about filming intimate scenes in general. She told the magazine,
07:522. Mindy Kaling
08:20On this list, we've discussed actors who aren't afraid of doing sex scenes, but here
08:24we are having an actor who actually loves it. As any religious high schooler will tell
08:29you, simulating sex can be pretty damn enjoyable. Those are the hilarious words of Mindy Kaling,
08:35star of shows like The Office and The Mindy Project. She goes into detail in her book,
08:47even devoting a whole chapter to the subject. The title of that chapter? I Love Sex Scenes.
08:53Kaling doesn't even mind dozens of crew members watching her work. In fact, the more
08:57the merrier, according to her. Kaling also calls filming sex scenes the world's best
09:02job perk. So, yeah, you could say she enjoys it.

09:301. Amanda Seyfried A lot of my co-stars have been sexy guys my
09:41age, so why not? Fair enough. Those are the words of Amanda Seyfried, who is also quite
09:46fond of the odd sex scene or two. The Emmy-winning actress spoke to W Magazine in-depth about
09:52filming explicit sequences, stating rather honestly, I'm not going to pretend it's
09:56not fun. Seyfried was particularly fond of her time
10:11with Megan Fox on Jennifer's Body. In the same interview with W, Seyfried claimed,
10:16We kissed really well together. If I watch the scene, it's actually really sexy.
10:21So there you have it. Seyfried doesn't just like filming sex scenes, she enjoys watching
10:26her own. How would you feel about doing this kind of work? Let us know in the comments.
