Her kids were watching
October 18, 2011
Film set. Recently. She’s shooting a sex scene. Walking around
set in her bra, no shirt on, panties, standard attire, nothing unusual
about it...
Except that her children were there that day. They
were visiting. And it was no thing, you know? That was her costume. They
saw her in his costume while they were there. And then she sat them
behind the monitor so that they could see her work and they watched
while mom worked with another actor - she rubbed up against him, he
returned the rubbing, she made love for pretend, for the movies, to a
man that was not the father of her children, in front of her children.
I’m
sure over 90% of you are all huffy and tutty about this and have been
since the start of the 2nd paragraph. “It’s so inappropriate, it’s so
bizarre, these people are sick f-cks”, etc etc etc. Me I’m still trying
to decide. Part of me understands the huffing and the tutting. And the
other part, well, it’s worth huffing and tutting over in real life, for
civilians, because that’s simply not part of that world.
But
take Kate Winslet for example - and this is NOT about Kate Winslet -
who’s already been naked on screen several times, and her kids go to
school with other kids whose parents have seen their mother’s breasts,
and you realise, theirs is a totally different reality. And, given that
that is the reality, if you are the subject of this riddle, do you
prepare your children for it by bringing them with you, by showing them
that this is not real, that this is what happens in filmmaking, that
this is part of the process, that this is part of what’s considered
their craft or their art, or whatever fancy word they’re using for it
these days, that this is not dirty, that there’s nothing shady about it,
in the hopes of removing or addressing in advance any
stigma/embarrassment that might arise later...
Mommy is an Actor and this is what Acting is...
A part of me doesn’t disagree with that either, you know?
Anyway, I look forward to reading your emails.
Lainey revealed this actress as Gwyneth Paltrow at SMUT Soiree 2012.
