That last quote is so gross

Honestly it makes me regret ever watching the movie Scarlett (well for several reasons) but he rapes Scarlett O'Hara and other women. Ugh.

Nice to know he cared more about his ownself being turned on vs what the actresses were going through during the scenes. /obv sarcasm

I mean, way to say you care more about sticking close to some book than you do about your coworkers, Sean

also, I don't want to know why or how a mango is a sex aid

[blorpz]

cut the mango in half then put it up ur butt

[callonme_84]

Ok, I could never do that…for reasons, but also just like a guacamole mask I can’t do bc I’d rather eat it

[siaht]

I am trying so hard to comprehend what this means

She’s 21 years younger than him.

[callonme_84]

🤮.

Cue someone here saying it’s not bad and Americans are so concerned with age

[dropdeadpirate]

This is why his characters always get killed off

[mslmao]

Joffrey was RIGHT!!!

Somebody saying, ‘Do this, put your hands there, while you touch his thing… I think the natural way lovers behave would be ruined by someone bringing it right down to a technical exercise,

??? this is a job; a professional opportunity not sex between two lovers. oh my god nobody work with this man

[green_monsterx]

right?? not only that, youre a fucking actor, its your job to make it look spontaneous. be a better actor than, idk what to tell you

[cheerspinkears]

That’s a good simple way to put it. I hated what he said but couldn’t exactly articulate why lol and what you said hits the nail on the head. Even jobs centered around artistic endeavors are JOBS and bc of that you have to think about the well-being of your coworkers, you fucking pig.

You can give consent to something in general (i.e. allowing romantic contact bc you’re acting in a scene) but may not be ok with someone touching a specific place. That’s what intimacy coaches are for. To keep it sexy without crossing a line. The idea of having a problem with that is baffling and scary.

I could understand it if he said it makes things more difficult but it's necessary... However, this isn't that.
