So to speak.
The Crescat has relevant and cogent thoughts:
Most recently, Reese Witherspoon, has decided to shed her girl-next-door image by doing, what else, “racy” sexually explicit sex scenes in her newest film, Wild.
According to Vogue, for her role in Wild, … the Mud actress [Reese] had to learn how to look like she
was shooting heroin, and employed a hypnotist to get her through the racy sex scenes. “I just didn’t want to hear, ‘Oh, we don’t want to see Reese have sex…Oh, can we not have any profanity?’” she explained to the magazine of stepping outside her comfort zone for the movie. “I wanted it to be truthful, I wanted it to be raw, I wanted it to be real.” [Source]
So let me get this straight… to “edge up” her image and show the acting community she’s well rounded character actor and someone to be taken seriously, she’s decided the only way to accomplish that is by performing uncomfortable sex scenes – so uncomfortable she has to employ a hypnotist to get through it.
Are there no other roles for an actress to be professionally challenged by other than having graphic sex on the big screen?
She's got more including a gif that's worth the trip.
Yet another Hollywood actress sadly succumbing to cultural pressures.
Nothing to see here folks but an additional indication of societal decay.
