Hunky actor prefers shooting sex scenes 'butt naked'

Los Angeles - Dominic Cooper prefers to film sex scenes "butt naked".

The Need For Speed actor says a "sad nappy" is just one of the embarrassing undergarments he has been made to wear in a bid to protect his modesty while shooting love making scenes, but thinks it's far better to strip off completely.

Dominic exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "What's embarrassing about sex scenes? Well normally it's what they try and make you wear, which is anything from some sad nappy, to a towel with elastic bands round it in the shape of a penis - like that in any way is going to make you feel better. Actually, it's better to be butt naked and get on with it."

The 35-year-old actor engages in a series of sex scenes with co-star Lara Pulver in TV drama series Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond, but insists he has never been inappropriately aroused whilst filming due to the unromantic atmosphere on set.

Dominic explained: "I've been quite lucky enough to not have been aroused. I think probably when I first had to do it that was a real fear but you learn quite quickly that you are surrounded by hairy blokes with cameras in their hands and microphones, and it's the last place you would get aroused. Plus you're not doing it with someone who you should really get aroused with anyway."
