Hollywood star Ewan McGregor and partner Mary Elizabeth Winstead starred in the new series „A Gentleman in Moscow,“ in which McGregor emphasized the importance of having an intimacy coordinator present for sex scenes.
In an interview with the British magazine Radio Times for its latest cover story, McGregor stated, „It is still necessary because it is about the team as well, and it is strange to be naked in front of people, it is strange to be intimate in front of the camera.“
The 52-year-old actor added, „If you were shooting a dance scene, you would have a choreographer. This is now an important part of the business as it’s someone where the director and the actors meet in the middle.“
The couple, married since 2022, has a son named Laurie.
The role of the intimacy coordinator is to support the actors in all types of intimate actions on set, such as kissing, physical touching, and simulated sex.
According to McGregor, who has four daughters from his previous marriage to production designer Eve Mavrakis, intimacy coordinators have become more common in recent years.
In an interview with Radio Times, he mentioned his 22-year-old daughter Esther as an example, expressing that an actor her age might feel obligated if asked by a famous director to participate in a nude scene to advance in their career. McGregor added, „In five years, he will look back and say, ‚I wish I hadn’t done that. Why was I naked in that scene? That was unnecessary‘.“
McGregor portrays Count Alexander Rostov, and Winstead plays actress Anna Urbanova in the new Paramount+ series „A Gentleman in Moscow.“
The series, set to premiere on March 29, revolves around a Russian aristocrat placed under house arrest as he witnesses the Bolshevik Revolution unfold before him.
