We’re sure that movie set is filled with lots of interesting and funny moments. You just have to love Pearl, man. 

Filming a sex scene is not easy. Even A-list Hollywood actors have a difficult time doing it. According to Cosmopolitan.com, here’s what some celebs had to say about filming sex scenes: 

Anne Hathaway on Love and other Drugs: “There is that revoltingly embarrassing moment when you have to take your clothes off in front of strangers. I mean, I don’t go to the beach in a bikini for a reason. So I thought, OK, I’m going to be in control. I’m going to do everything properly, disrobe at the last minute, and in between shots get the clothes back on. But then I found that every time I put my robe back on, it rubbed all the body makeup off, and that added 20 minutes to filming. As with all things in life, the second you stop making it about you and you make it about everyone else, it just got, dare I say, fun.” 

Blake Lively on The Town: “The sex scene was really awkward. It was my first day… so I guess it was good to break the ice.” 

Mila Kunis on Black Swan: “It’s hard to have a sex scene, period. It doesn’t matter if it’s a friend, a male, a female. You’re with 100-something crew members, lighting you, repositioning you, there’s no comfort whatsoever.” 

Amanda Seyfried on Chloe: “It was so … awkward. And you can never destroy that awkwardness; it’s always going to be there — even when you’re with somebody for the first time in real life. It’s just strange.” 

Now, do you see where Pearl is coming from?
