Christopher Eccleston, currently starring in True Detective, says that he was once accused of 'copping a feel' by an A-list actress when they filmed a sex scene together.
“I did a sex scene with an A-list actress - not Nicole Kidman, who was brilliant - and she implied, in front of the crew, that I was copping a feel. Because she didn’t like me,”
He says he was “fortunate that happened to me before the Harvey Weinstein stuff came to light, so I wasn’t put in the stocks for it. But I’ve never felt more betrayed by a fellow actor than I did that day.”
“I have to say to you that I would sooner have put my hands in a food blender than copped a feel of that person. It was an abuse of power, what she did. I don’t think that would have happened with an intimacy coordinator on set. I could have been accused of all manner of things… that’s about what passes between actors, with trust and the abuse of it.”
He added that intimacy coordinators are a "wonderful innovation in the industry"
