The acting legend has been performing on the big and small screen since 1950 but says he is glad his sex scene days are behind him as he was able to perform ‘without anyone interfering’
Sir Michael Caine has mocked the film and TV industry’s implementation of intimacy coordinators on set during sex scenes.
The 90-year-old actor has been playing roles on the big and small screen since 1950 and says he is glad to be too old to be filming risqué material now he is in his twilight years. In the years cine the #MeToo movement began, TV and film productions have enlisted the help of intimacy coordinators to ensure that sex scenes are filmed in a dignified manner for the acting talent and to ensure everyone involved in the scenes is aware of what is expected, agreed and is fully consenting.
In a new interview while looking back across his career and the fact he has a new role in a film titled The Great Escaper. Asked for his thoughts on intimacy coordinators, Sir Michael hinted that he did not exactly agree with the new industry department.
He told the Daily Mail: “Really? Seriously? What are they? We never had that in my day. Thank god I’m 90 and don’t play lovers anymore is all I can say. In my day you just did the love scene and got on with it without anyone interfering. It’s all changed.”
