Sex scene secrets of the stars

continued from page 2
Ewan McGregor

Trick of the trade: don't show your excitement - or lack of!
When it comes to getting your kit off on-screen, Ewan is head and shoulders above the rest. From his explicit sex scenes with Kelly MacDonald in Trainspotting, to his full frontal in Velvet Goldmine and oral sex scene in Boy's Don't Cry, Ewan is happy to bare all. And the Scottish star explains he doesn't care who's watching. 'I'm never aware of the crew - you shouldn't be. I could have a soundman lying under the bed and I wouldn't notice him. There have been moments where, ahem, things have happened down there but I just take a few moments. You know, the director says, 'Let's try that again', and I say, 'No, give me ten seconds'.'

Johnny Depp

Trick of the trade: music
Johnny is well known for his bizarre on-set quirks, including having music played to him to suit his character and situation. And it seems he doesn't even turn it off when he hops in the sack for those more intimate scenes. 'I spent about three hours in bed with him, and we'd only just met,' recalls Johnny's From Hell co-star Sophia Myles. 'He was sensitive, compassionate and charming but he always had his music on. He has a guy who does nothing but play specific tracks for him.'

Hugh Grant

Trick of the trade: enjoy every minute of it
Hugh has been lucky enough to enjoy love scenes with some of Tinseltown's most beautiful actresses, including Renee Zellweger, Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts. With his typically direct style, bachelor-boy Hugh candidly admits that he loves sex scenes - and even gets physically aroused by them! 'I've always enjoyed sex scenes, though you're not really supposed to,' says the Bridget Jones star. 'The classic answer is, 'Oh, it's not sexy at all because there are so many technicians standing around'. But I've always found them extremely arousing.'

Josh Hartnett

Trick of the trade: pick the right partner
Hollywood Homicide hunk Josh has never had a problem with sex scenes because he's always had partners who don't care if he shows a little too much - if you know what he means. 'Those scenes are always embarrassing for both sides,' he says. 'The biggest problem is if you don't get aroused then the woman is mad at you, and if you do get aroused the woman is mad at you! But I've been lucky to work with cool girls who didn't really care.'

Will Smith

Trick of the trade: gaffer tape
Will was obviously too modest to reveal this little trick himself but crew on his recent movie hit I,Robot were more than happy to reveal all. 'Will is a big guy - and I mean big,' says one crew member. 'When he did his nude shower scene in the beginning of the movie he had no choice but to get some tape and hide it away otherwise we would have been straight-to-video and adults-only stores!'

Jason Biggs

Trick of the trade: no stubble!
As Hollywood becomes more accepting of depicting gay relationships in the movies, increasing numbers of actors are also having to prepare themselves for same-sex love scenes. Jason certainly didn't enjoy his screen snog with Seann William Scott in gross-out comedy American Pie: The Wedding. 'It was definitely different from kissing a girl,' he says. 'He had a bunch of stray hairs on his lip. The worst part was that we had to do 30 takes. In future I'm gonna make sure they shave before I kiss them!'
