'Superman' Actor Henry Cavill Lays Out Why He’s ‘Not A Fan’ Of Sex Scenes
HuffPost
Cavill’s remarks come on the heels of last year’s sex scene discourse that has largely been attributed to Generation Z.
Henry Cavill has joined the discourse surrounding a particularly controversial topic — sex scenes in film and TV.
The actor unfavorably weighed in on the topic after filmmaker Matthew Vaughn brought it up during an episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast that was released Monday.
“I also don’t understand them, I’m not a fan,” Cavill said. “I think there are circumstances where a sex scene actually is beneficial to a movie, rather than just the audience. But I think sometimes they’re overused these days.”
“You’re going, ‘Is this really necessary or is it people just with less clothing on?’” he added. “And that’s where you start to get more uncomfortable. You’re thinking, ‘There’s not a performance here … which is going to carry through into the rest of the movie.’”
Although Cavill ultimately agreed that sex scenes “can be great” and “really help with the storytelling,” he said he still prefers a less-is-more approach when it comes to them.
