A Hollywood film director once instructed Aubrey Plaza to engage in real masturbation for a raunchy scene, as revealed by the actress herself.
In the world of cinema, various techniques are employed to maintain actors' privacy during intimate moments on screen.
Despite these measures, nothing quite compares to genuine actions.
Typically, s=x scenes involve simulated acts, often aided by props, intimacy coordinators, and prosthetics like false body parts to avoid complete nudity.
In a notable instance, Margot Robbie was provided with a collection of genital wigs for her part in The Wolf of Wall Street, particularly for a scene opposite Leonardo DiCaprio.
Contrastingly, Aubrey Plaza embraced a more daring approach for her role in the 2013 film, The To-Do List.
Portraying the character Brandy Klark, a socially awkward teenager on a mission to experience various activities before college, Plaza found herself faced with a particularly intimate moment.
Initially assuming she would be enacting the scene through suggestive gestures, the reality turned out to be far more explicit under the direction of Maggie Carey.
During an appearance on Conan O'Brien's show, Plaza humorously recounted the unexpected turn of events.
She had anticipated a subtle depiction of the act, only to discover a setup involving cameras positioned overhead while she was clad in underwear and a Clinton t-shirt, surrounded by crew members.
Despite joking about the crew smoking, Plaza emphasized the director's insistence on a full-body shot, contrary to her initial expectations.
Expressing her surprise at the request, Plaza recalled seeking guidance from Carey on how to proceed, only to receive the directive to perform the actual act as scripted.
Reflecting on the experience, Plaza described it as highly nerve-wracking due to the disparity between her initial assumptions and the actual filming process, where she found herself in a situation necessitating real engagement.
Requests for comments from Maggie Carey's representatives regarding the incident have been made by Daily Star.
