Claire Foy says she feels ‘exploited’ filming sex scenes in Hollywood: 'It's the grimmest thing you can do’
Fox News
The 37-year-old star was interviewed about her role as British socialite Margaret Campbell in the limited series “A Very British Scandal,” which centers on the period around the Duchess of Argyll’s 1963 divorce that saw her publicly maimed as the “dirty duchess” after sexually suggestive photographs were published in the media.
"It's a really hard line because basically you do feel exploited when you are a woman and you are having to perform fake sex on screen," Foy told BBC Radio 4. "You can't help but feel exploited. It's grim – it's the grimmest thing you can do.
"You feel exposed," "The Crown" actress added. "Everyone can make you try to not feel that way, but it's, unfortunately, the reality. But my thing was that I felt very strongly that it had to be in it, but I wanted it to be female. I did not want it to be that sort of awful climactic sexual experience you often see on the cinema screen."
