Heather Graham<\/a> shared mixed feelings about Hollywood’s “awkward” new approach to filming sex scenes.<\/p>\n

Graham opened up about working with intimacy coordinators in the wake of the #MeToo Movement.<\/p>\n

“I think the MeToo movement was amazing [and] I think there is a very good intention behind intimacy coordinators. But it is odd when you come up without having them, and suddenly there\u2019s this random person in the room just staring at you when you\u2019re, like, pretending you have sex,” she told Us Weekly<\/a>. “It’s kind of awkward.”<\/p>\n

“I know that they have a beautiful intention, and they really want to help and protect actors,” Graham continued. “But as the actor, sometimes I\u2019m like, \u2018Can you just get all these people out of the room?\u2019”<\/p>\n

Graham, who starred in “Boogie Nights,”<\/a> slammed the “confusing” new reality of filming sex scenes. She recalled a moment on set when she felt an intimacy coordinator overstepped.<\/p>\n

“One time, I had an intimacy coordinator, and they started directing me on, like, how to have sex in a scene,” Graham remembered. “They were like, \u2018When you do this, you can do this.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018You\u2019re not the director, OK? I\u2019m not asking for notes on how to have sex in the scene.'”<\/p>\n

“I just felt, like, \u2018Shut up,\u2019” she added. “I\u2019m like, \u2018You can just tell this to the director\u2026 because I don\u2019t want to have two different people directing me.\u2019 It\u2019s confusing.”<\/p>\n

Graham said there was also a time when she felt she had to protect an intimacy coordinator while filming a particularly intense horror scene.<\/p>\n

“I just did this other horror movie, and there was this adorable intimacy coordinator. She was in her 20s, super sweet. We were doing this scary scene, and I felt like I had to take care of her,” she noted. “She\u2019s like, \u2018This is really disturbing.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018I know, I\u2019m sorry,\u2019” she added with a laugh. “It\u2019s kind of awkward.”<\/p>\n

Graham began her career with small roles in commercials and TV before landing teen films such as “License to Drive” and “Drugstore Cowboy.”<\/p>\n

She saw her breakthrough with “Boogie Nights,” “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me” and “Bowfinger.”<\/p>\n

Graham landed a role in the blockbuster film “The Hangover” in 2009. She has since continued acting in films and TV while also expanding into writing and directing projects. Her latest film, “They Will Kill You,” will be released on March 27.<\/p>\n

The “Killing Me Softly” star explained she feels confident enough after a decades-long career to not need the help of an intimacy coordinator.<\/a><\/p>\n

“It might be better if you\u2019re younger and don\u2019t know how to stand for yourself and speak up for yourself,” the 56-year-old actress said. “At this point, I feel like I\u2019m strong enough.”<\/p>\n

“So I just don\u2019t want a lot of extra people in the room.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
