Actress Eva Mendes says she deliberately avoids doing intimate scenes on the big screen as she feels they are unnecessary.
The 38-year-old said she politely urges filmmakers to avoid intimate scenes also because she is uncomfortable doing them, reported Daily Star.
"Love scenes are always awkward. They're awful. I've managed to really skip through them. When I read that my character has a love scene, I carefully address it with the director 'Can we please cut this out? It's gratuitous and there's no need for it', and thankfully that has happened.
"I try to avoid them whenever I can. I have done a couple of things that have been appropriate for the films I've been in, but I've never done a simulated sex scene because I feel like they're rarely appropriate," she said.
