Angelina Jolie Admits Shooting Sex Scenes With Brad Pitt Was 'Awkward,' Here's Why
Angelina Jolie sounded off on the most awkward thing in the world she encountered in filming her new movie, "By the Sea," and it was making love with someone she is really having sex with in real life.
Speaking for an Entertainment Weekly interview (via Vanity Fair), the 40-year-old said that her sex scenes with husband, Brad Pitt, felt the "strangest thing" ever.
"It's the strangest thing in the world to be lying naked in a bathtub with an iPad that's showing you the shot outside, while your husband is at the door and you're directing him to come in and make love to you," the Academy award-winning actress told the publication. "[And] in front of a bunch of other men with cameras."
She elaborated that in the first place, love scenes are really awkward to film, but if you are doing the deed with the person you actually do it with, the only way to lessen the weird feeling is for them "to all talk about the absurdity of it and make sure no one was feeling awkward," adding that her husband made it sure that she felt protected even if they acted steamy.
While she has done several love scenes in her previous movies, Jolie also said that this particular one is "obviously different" and she wishes that "every woman could have this experience."
As if the love scene wasn't as hard enough for her, she shared that she struggled to juggle her roles because apart from being an actress in the 1970s set movie, she is also the film's director and producer.
"I couldn't get out of the bathtub to get to the monitor because the director is naked," Jolie said. "We're artists and want to be free, but Brad-it's his wife. He was on towel duty. He'd hold the towel over me."
The Golden Globe awards recipient also got candid of how she felt insecure when it comes to her naked body since she has had double mastectomy. But regardless of her health struggles, she said she is happy to have done it.
"The surgeries still allow you to be a woman," she said. She hoped that other women who had insecurities in their body will feel and see what she's feeling through the scenes.
Amid her health issues, after having mastectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes), Latin Post previously reported that her husband has been proud of everything she has been through.
"It was just another one of those things in life that makes you tighter, and she was doing it for the kids, and she was doing it for her family so we could be together," Pitt said, referring to his wife's recent surgeries.
The couple's film, "By The Sea," will be released on Nov. 13 in the U.S.
