OHMYGOSSIP — Martin Compston doesn’t look forward to filming “awkward” sex scenes.
The actor – who plays DI Steve Arnott in BBC crime drama ‘Line of Duty’ – is gearing up for his next stint, which will see him star in ITV thriller ‘Our House’, adapted from Louise Candlish’s novel of the same name.
Martin will swap the police station for the bedroom as he portrays ladies’ man Bram Lawson, who cheats on his wife Fiona, who is played by ‘Downton Abbey’ star Tuppence Middleton.
Speaking about sex scenes in the upcoming show, he told The Sun newspaper: “Look, they’re always awkward. I mean, you’re getting your kit off and doing that kind of thing in front of a room full of people.
“It’s never something you look forward to. But at the same time you’ve got to commit to it. You want to make it real. So it’s awkward.
“But you really need to go for it once you’re in the moment. There used to be an old attitude which I suppose is of its time which was, ‘Oh, just get on with it — just do it.’
“But you kind of need to be aware of everybody’s boundaries, what everybody is comfortable with.”
The 37-year-old actor admitted it is “a lot easier” to shoot steamy scenes when there is an intimacy coach on the set.
He added: “Somebody now has a job to come in, and actually a responsibility to talk everybody through it.
“In some ways, it’s kind of like a stunt. You have a fight co-ordinator — that’s what it is.
“Usually it’s you worrying about where you put your hand, or what you do. But somebody talks you both through everything, then it makes it a lot easier. But it’s still awkward, don’t get me wrong.”
