‘Sex scenes on screen not as fun as they look’, says film star…

William H. Macy: 'Movie sex scenes not so much fun...'

…the film star expressing said discomfort, however, is William H. Macy.

Love his work, but some might agree that for those of us on the popcorn-gobbling end of the screen, the lack of enthusiasm over witnessing Mr. Macy get his full-frontal freak on is mutual.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times:

‘A horror.” That’s how TV and movie star William H. Macy describes the often arduous process of having simulated sex onscreen. These days, especially on unregulated pay cable and to a lesser degree basic cable, there’s more of it than ever.

…While groups like the Parents Television Council have voiced their extreme displeasure at this apparent loosening of standards, Macy takes a much more chilled approach.

“Violence is always bad,” he says. “Sex is good. Even bad sex is pretty good.” As an integral part of the human experience, he adds, it’s “right up there with eating.

Although the formerly Chicago-based actor and star of “Shameless” (setand partially shot in town) has done his share of steamy scenes — but not in “The Sessions,” in which he plays a Catholic priest — he says they remain tough to do well.

But “that’s what we get paid for,” Macy says of his actorly ilk, “to do intimate things in front of a whole bunch of Teamsters.”
