2000s Actress Shares How She Approaches Shooting Sex Scenes at 53
It's all in a day's work for Amanda Peet.
"Dude, I've been doing this for so long, I'm just like, 'Show me where to be. Show me who to kiss. Who do I have to make out with today?'" Peet recently told People.
The actress, known for her roles in 'The Whole Nine Yards' and 'The Good Wife,' is starring in 'Your Friends & Neighbors' on Apple TV+ where she has steamy love scenes with Jon Hamm, who plays her estranged husband, and Mark Tallman, who her character has an affair with."I love my stuff with Jon," she said of her scenes with Hamm. "He's a gentleman, and he's a really good leader on the set. He's not a snob, and I appreciate that."
Peet also joked that she's so used to having a love scene on camera that she automatically assumes she has one just by seeing the show's intimacy coordinator. 'She's like, 'No, dear. It's somebody else,'" she said.While a sex scene may be easy Peet these days, the actress recently said on 'Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,' that appearing on 'Seinfeld' in 1997, where she made out with Jerry Seinfeld, was "rough."
"I had a lot of stage fright. I was really scared," Peet said, rating her performance a "5" as part of a game on the Bravo show. The season finale episode of 'Your Friends & Neighbors' airs this Friday. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬

Carnival Cruise Ship Rescues Four People Lost at Sea
Few things are as downright terrifying as the idea of getting lost at sea. Unfortunately for a small group aboard a catamaran sailing in the Pacific, this nightmarish scenario ultimately came to pass, leaving them stranded in the middle of the world's largest ocean. Luckily, help soon arrived in the form of a Carnival Cruise ship sailing the seven seas, who quickly answered a distress signal and rescued the stranded passengers in the middle of their scheduled cruise from Australia. According to ABC News, two couples and their three dogs were venturing through the South Pacific when their catamaran was disabled as a result of inclement weather. "We were stuck in an interesting position," one of the rescued passengers said. "We got demasted, lost our engines, and after we got demasted, it was stuck under the boat, and it was hitting it on every big wave." Heeding a distress call from the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in Nouméa, Carnival's Concordia-class ship, CarnivalSplendor, promptly set out to search for the drifting catamaran, embarking on a five-hour journey from the south of New Caledonia. Fortunately, the Splendor was able to reach the passengers before it was too late, inviting them onboard the luxury cruise ship before conditions on the open ocean grew even more perilous. "Luckily, Carnival, the captain here was an absolute legend came and he saved the day, and now the doggies get their first cruise," the catamaran passenger humorously added. The rescue comes less than a week after another Carnival cruise ship, the CarnivalParadise, picked up five men floating on a makeshift raft off the southern coast of Cuba. According to ABC, the 3,300-passenger ship will continue to operate under its pre-existing cruise schedule, making stops at Mystery Island and Noumea and eventually returning to Sydney on Tuesday.
