New Delhi: British star Ewan McGregor has revealed that he and actor-wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead had roped in an intimacy coordinator for filming intimate scenes for their new show 'A Gentleman in Moscow'.
In an interview with the British news outlet Radio Times, the 52-year-old actor said they felt the need for a professional as it was "odd" for them to be "intimate in front of the camera".
“It’s still necessary, because it’s also about the crew, and it’s odd to be naked in front of people, it’s odd to be intimate in front of the camera,” McGregor said.
“If you were doing a dance scene, you’d have a choreographer. It’s an important part of the work now, because it’s somebody that the director and actors meet in the middle," he added.
The role of an intimacy coordinator is to support the actors while filming intimate scenes on set such as contact kissing, physical touch and simulated sex.
McGregor and Winstead, 39, tied the knot in 2022 and are parents to son Laurie, who was born in June 2021.

It revolves around Count Alexander Rostov (McGregor) who loses his title and wealth, and ends up being placed under house arrest in a hotel in Moscow. Winstead essays the role of Anna Urbanova, a "glamorous, independent and self-made film actress, at the height of her fame". Directed by Sam Miller and created by Ben Vanstone, "A Gentleman in Moscow" is set to premiere on American network Paramount+ with Showtime.
