......WHOAAA!
"Have you and Cuddy something in common?
We have the same bad taste when it comes to men...!"
The complete interview´s under the cut!
Thanks for the translation Maud!
What was your reaction when you learnt you had to do a strip-tease scene?
The writers told me a week before, but I'd rather have them warn me sooner, so that I was in shape!
How did you prepare yourself?
My friend Richard Schiff and his wife Sheila produced a movie about strippers. Since then, Sheila gives striptease classes and I went to rehearse for the scene with her.
Did you use Kim Basinger in 9 1/2 weeks or Demi Moore in Striptease as an inspiration?
Not really, I tried to be myself. Actually, my own choregraphy was cut in the end. I was a little disappointed: those were the naughtiest moments, especially and i picked my skirt with the end of my toe and threw it into Gregory House 's face!
How did approach Hugh with the scene?
I asked to do a repetition with a few people, including Hugh. I was afraid he'd be embarassed that the strip tease would be too sexy... or not enough. At first, I was so ill at ease that I forgot to breathe! The scene lasted about 4 hours!
And Hugh? How did he react? Did he make any jokes?
Gosh no, he was very delicate, a real gentleman! Don't forget he is british!
How did the audience react when the episode aired in the States?
The strip tease was really appreciated. But they said it wasnt me who did it and that I used a stunt, I was upset! It's false, it really was ME!
You played a lesbian in Relativity and a transexual in Ally Mc Beal. Did you take a risk when you did that?
It wasn't a risk, but it was very new to see that on television! In Relativity, i had to kiss a girl the broadcaster wanted to make sure that it would not shck the audience. When it comes to the transexual, this subject had never been approached in prime time television. I was glad to play this character in a dignifying way.
Does play in House ask a lot of work?
Each episode is shot in 10 days, with about 12 to 15 hours of work each day. But I only have 6 or 7 scenes per episode and, compared to Hugh, my life is easy. he spends his whole life at the studio!
Have you and Cuddy something in common?
We have the same bad taste when it comes to men...!
