Shailene Woodley says filming sex scenes is always awkward.
The
22-year-old actress has a number of raunchy scenes in Gregg Araki's
upcoming drama-thriller 'White Bird in a Blizzard' - including one in
which her character Kat loses her virginity - and she's confessed she
doesn't think there's anything actors can do to avoid the awkwardness.
She
explained: ''It's always an awkward situation when you have to pretend
to be intimate with someone that you're not actually intimate with ... I
think the awkwardness probably lends itself to these great virginity
scenes.''
Woodley's co-star Shiloh Fernandez (Phil), however,
claims he didn't find shooting the scenes uncomfortable and admits he
even enjoyed the cringey action.
He told the New York Post
newspaper: ''It was really just sort of fun for us to dive into this and
just laugh at the whole silliness of not having anything sexual happen,
and having to wear these pads on your private areas.''
'White
Bird in a Blizzard' premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January
this year and is released in cinemas worldwide later this month.
