Costar: George Clooney 'Wasn't That Experienced' At Sex Scene

people.com:

For most women, getting naked with George Clooney would be intimidating.

But for his costar in the upcoming thriller The American, there was no such trepidation -- on her part, at least.

"He confessed ... that he didn't do lots of sex scenes," Violante Placido, who plays prostitute Clara and Clooney's love interest in the film, tells PEOPLE. "I felt like this was in a way something new to him, he wasn't that experienced."

She plays a hooker??? Cripes, can't they think of anything more original for women to play in movies?

Do you speak from experience or just wishful thinking?

Interesting how your headline here makes it sound like the woman is being classless and snarky - and lo and behold you read the article to find that she is a dedicated actress discussing how she and Clooney worked together to make a pivotal scene successful.. tisk, tisk...I fell for the ruse hook, line and sinker!

Greatest off-camera sex scene line ever if memory serves me...moments before filming one, Sean Connery was reported to have whispered to his costar, "I apologize if I get an erection and I apologize if I don't."

who cares if he is or isn't gay. The resat of Hollywood could take some tips on how to act in public. The guy is a class act.

So, they agree to trust each other, and then she goes and talks to People magazine. Yeah, I'd be married, too.

Sexiest scene ever -- in "Out of Sight," when he says, 'hi' to Jennifer Lopez in a bar, and all you hear is his voice.

I don't think George Clooney is really a sex scene kind of guy. I like many of his films, but I must admit I'm in no rush to see him in the buff getting it on. He on-screen presence says "charm" rather than "sexy".

I like how having sex in a room full of people and in with some you barely know, being filmed at the same time is something she had no trepidation about. Haha, seriously, George - what a prude.

I have no opinion in this matter and wanted to air that viewpoint.

. . .and it is a worthy opinion, indeed

All Hollywoood actors and actresses seem to be in agreement that, there is nothing sexy ABOUT doing a sex scene. It's all scripted and very mechanical.

Yeah. Not to mention that, even on a closed set, you've got at least a half dozen onlookers. Yuk.

Well, Out of the goodness of my heart I'd be glad to volunteer myself to play a few scenes with him! And we'll do them over and over again until he feels more experienced!

All these gay rumor people are so pathetic on here. If he isn't a train wreck like say.... Lohan.... or Mel.....or some other idiot with too much money and not enough attention, he's GOT to be gay to you people. If he's in Hollyidiot and hasn't been married 3 times, he's gay. All of you that accuse him of that couldn't BE more pathetic..

I wish you all many marriages to prove to him how great it is to be married 6-7 times with the media spotlight on you 24/7. Please, go find your mates....now!

LOL. I think George is smart, pure and simple. I certainly don't get the gay vibe from him.

It's jealousy. Pure and simple. The guy has it all. Money, amazing looks, great personality, Oscar-winning success in his chosen field, great respect from just about everyone. Envious guys HAVE to believe he's gay or they just can't deal with it. I have very sensitive gaydar. Mr. Clooney is NOT gay, even though some just WISH he were. LOL.

I couldn't agree more. But, in his defense, I think his strong personality IS his talent.
