Gwyneth Paltrow got into an uproar over her use of intimacy coordinators

Paltrow also wondered whether younger performers are losing spontaneity due to increasingly structured rules around scenes.

She said, “I don’t know what it’s like for beginning kids, but if someone says, ‘Okay, and then he puts his hand over here,’ I would feel very oppressed by that as an artist.”

Her comments received support from fellow Hollywood veterans, including Kim Basinger and Sean Bean.

Basinger, who starred opposite Mickey Rourke in the erotic drama 9½ weekssaid, “I can’t imagine someone coming up to me and saying, ‘Do you mind if they put their hand here?’

“That’s just someone else in the room. Either we’ll figure it out or we won’t.’

Bean, looking back on the years in which he filmed explicit scenes, including in Game of Thronesintimacy coordinators can ‘spoil the spontaneity’.
