Before Emilia Clarke: 8 Steamiest Sex Scenes by Actresses Who Hate Sex Scenes

From Vanessa Hudgens to Kate Winslet and Reese Witherspoon, TheWrap looks at women who’ve grinned and bared it despite their discomfort

“Game of Thrones” star Emilia Clarke made headlines this week when she expressed her distaste for steamy love scenes, telling an interviewer, “Sex scenes should be more subtle. I’m British, so I cringe at that sort of thing anyway — I can’t stand it.”

This, despite the fact that “Game of Thrones” overflows with nudity and sex, and Clarke herself was practically split in two during one particular session with Jason Momoa on the HBO drama.

But while others ponder the oddity of it all, TheWrap wants to reassure Clarke that she’s in good company — plenty of actresses who’ve pooh-poohed onscreen nudity and sex scenes have nonetheless stripped down to nothing but a forced happy-face to get the job done.
