Mark Ruffalo was uncomfortable filming sex scenes with Emma Stone

After so many years of career, Mark Ruffalo felt embarrassed when filming sex scenes in the film “Poor Creatures”, starring Emma Stone.

The production, directed by Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos, received the Golden Lion, the highest award at the Venice Film Festival.

In an interview with the American magazine Variety alongside actor Robert Downey Jr., he stated that this type of scene is his least favorite to film.

“I was like, ‘Do I need it?’. All I heard was ‘Nobody wants to see your old butt anymore. Maybe you shouldn’t make movies like that anymore.’ But I also saw it as an extension of the physical comedy we were already filming, so it was just another way to tell the story,” she said.

Ruffalo also explained that he had to use pads on his butt and body to look bigger and more, let’s say, toned.

“My legs were about four inches longer. I was wearing a corset with shoulder pads because the director wanted me to look like a bird, so I built all this chest,” he said. “The butt pads, the leg pads, the thigh pads, the calf pads. When you look at that and think ‘he looks great,’ now you know he was just wearing what the Avengers wear.”
