For Gillan Anderson, intimate scenes are never a joy
The 56-year-old actress shares an intimate scene in a tent with co-star Jason Isaacs in her new movie 'The Salt Path', reports 'Female First UK'.
The film is based on the true story of couple Raynor and Moth Winn who embark on an epic walk in the UK after a bad health diagnosis and homelessness.
As per 'Female First UK', the actress said that such things are part and parcel of acting. As she said, "That is something you just expect as an actor'.
The actress told 'The Sun', "That's part of what one does. I had an experience for many, many years working with the same actor every day. I've also done sex scenes on the very first day of working, which is never a joy at any time during filming. "So you're thrown stuff all the time and just show whatever you're given'.
'The X-Files' star added that it was straightforward to film the raunchy scenes with her "amenable" co-star Isaacs.
She said, "Jason makes it very easy. He's very amenable, he's very likeable. And certainly physically, we feel like we're the same language, certainly by the end. We feel like our journey is baked into us, and we feel like we're part of the same conversation'.
Gillian explained that she became desperate to play Raynor after reading her book of the same name and being "profoundly affected" by the story.
"I read the book and I couldn't speak for days. I was really profoundly affected by it. I think I might have threatened them with an inch of their lives to hire me', she added.

Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney leads the race to be the next Bond girl
Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney is being considered for a part in the upcoming part of the 'James Bond'. If it sits well, the actress will essay the role of the next Bond girl, reports 'Female First UK'. The 27-year-old actress is wanted by new 007 director Denis Villeneuve for a role in the upcoming movie and the 'Euphoria' actress is also said to have the backing of Amazon boss Jeff Bezos, with the company acquiring creative control of the spy franchise from long-serving producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. A source told 'The Sun on Sunday' newspaper, 'Sydney is the top name on the casting sheet for Bond. Denis believes she is hugely talented, as well as having an alluring appeal to younger generations, vital in modernising the franchise'. The source further mentioned, 'They've hung out together a lot and he has admired her stratospheric rise. Plus Sydney has the quality of being athletic and able to perform physical scenes, as well as being feminine and following in the legacy of the Bond girls'. As per 'Female First UK', Denis was unveiled as the director of the next Bond film last month and has vowed to 'honour the tradition' of the character - who will be played by a new actor in the picture after Daniel Craig bowed out as 007 in the 2021 movie 'No Time To Die'. The 'Dune' filmmaker said in a statement, 'Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr No with Sean Connery. To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come'. Amazon MGM's Mike Hopkins commented, 'Denis has delivered compelling worlds, dynamic visuals, complex characters, and - most importantly - the immersive storytelling that global audiences yearn to experience in theatres. Meanwhile, Katy O'Brian was punched by Sydney while filming their boxing matches for the upcoming biopic about boxer Christy Martin. The actress has said that she 'felt good' getting punched by her co-star. Sweeney stars in the movie as Martin, who was one of the most well known female boxers of the 1990s, reports 'Variety'. Katy plays a fellow boxer. Sweeney packed on 30 pounds for the role. Sweeney told W magazine earlier this year, 'My body was completely different. I didn't fit in any of my clothes. I'm usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27. My body got bigger. It was crazy. She added, 'But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong'. Martin boxed professionally from 1989 to 2012 and became the world champion in the super welterweight division in 2009. In 2010, she survived a murder attempt by her husband, James Martin, who stabbed her multiple times and shot her at their home in Florida. He was convicted of attempted second-degree murder in 2012 and sentenced to 25 years in prison. Indo-Asian News Service
