Actress Ana De Armas felt "safe and prote♓cted" when filming the nude scenes in 'Blonde'.
Flashing the flesh in her🙈 portrayal of Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik's film, the 34-year-old actress suggested viewers will find it more uncomfortable than she did, reports ace🦹showbiz.com.
"It's harder for people to watch (those scenes) than for🎃 me to make them, because I understood what I was doing and I felt very protected and safe," Ana said when speaking to Entertainment Weekly.
"I didn't feel exploited because I wa♊s in control. I made that decision. I knew the movie I was do𓆏ing. I trusted my director. I felt like I was in a safe environment."
She added, "We had hundreds of conversations about these scenes. Everyone felt a deep respect for the movie we were making. And in that sense, I h🍸ad no fear. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all, even though they were really hard scenes."
The actress was full of praise for the intimacy coordinators on set and claimed that shooting sexuꦗal scenes felt no different from the rest of the movie.
She explained, "We had an intimacy coordinator𒊎 with us all the time, and she was very helpful."
"But I wouldn't even say these scenes were more difficult than𒊎 any other scene. It was just a part of a whole story. I knew exactly what the shot was going to be."
"I knew exactly what was going to be seen, ♐what was not going to be seen, and it felt like it was the right thing to do.&qu🦩ot;
Ana had recently expressed disappo𒉰intment that intimate scenes from the movie are likely🦋 to be posted online and be taken out of context.
She said, ꦺ"I know what's going to go viral, and it's disgusting. It's upsetting just to think about it. I can't control it; you can't really control what they do and how they take things out of context."
