CNN —Hollywood star Ewan McGregor has said it was “still necessary” to have an intimacy coordinator for the sex scenes in new drama series “A Gentleman in Moscow,” even though he was performing alongside his wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
“If you were doing a dance scene, you’d have a choreographer,” added the 52-year-old.
“It’s an important part of the work now, because it’s somebody that the director and actors meet in the middle.”The couple have been married since 2022.
The role of the intimacy coordinator is to support the actor in any intimate action on set, such as contact kissing, physical touch and simulated sex.
Intimacy coordinators have become increasingly common in recent years, which McGregor, who has four daughters from his previous marriage to production designer Eve Mavrakis, believes is a good thing.
