Ewan McGregor discusses the importance of intimacy coordinators in filming sex scenes and emphasizes the need for such roles on set, especially for the comfort of the actors and the crew.
He highlighted that having an intimacy coordinator is just as essential as having a choreographer for a dance scene, helping the director and actors navigate intimate scenes.
McGregor also pointed out how hiring intimacy coordinators can protect young actors from feeling pressured into performing unnecessary scenes that they may regret in the future.
In “A Gentleman in Moscow,” McGregor plays Count Alexander Rostov, and Winstead portrays Anna Urbanova, in a story set during the Russian Revolution where Rostov faces challenging circumstances.
The series follows Rostov’s journey in the Hotel Metropol as he navigates significant historical events while discovering the true values of friendship, family, and love within the confines of the hotel.
The show is set to premiere on March 29 on Paramount+ with Showtime, offering a compelling narrative of personal growth and emotional discovery in a turbulent period of Russian history.
