Jonathan Rhys Meyers talks about doing sex scenes

Jonathan Rhys Meyers has been bedding down the ladies in Showtime‘s The Tudors, but admits its hard (no pun intended) finding the respectful balance.

From MSNBC:

“Doing the erotic stuff, it is what it is,” Meyers said. “But it’s not really where you get the best of your acting. I have a girlfriend, these girls have boyfriends. So where’s the respectful line in doing a sex scene if you really want to do a good one?”

He recalled being asked by the director in the first season to touch an actress’ breast, and being cautioned by her that she had a boyfriend.

“Not anymore,” a cheeky Meyers replied.
