Joanna Lumley has shared her candid views on sex scenes in acting, expressing sympathy for performers and a personal preference for depicting the more tender aspects of romance. The acclaimed actress, who celebrates her 80th birthday next month, articulated her feelings in a recent interview.
Speaking to the Radio Times, Lumley remarked: "I just think, ‘Poor old actors, there they go again, having to hammer away at each other, and look good while doing it’, and it’s pathetic. But lots of people adore it. I just don’t like it. I love the heart, the falling in love, the brush of the hand, the glance across the room, those are the things that you remember."
