MASTERS of Sex star Lizzy Caplan has revealed how she used to have to get “hammered”
to film sex scenes.
Speaking on US chat show Chelsea Lately this week, the actress admitted she
was “so drunk” when she acted out her romps on raunchy vampire
show True Blood back in 2008.
Lizzy said: “I was hammered for that. It was like 7am in the morning and
I was chugging vodka completely naked while a make-up artist I had just met
was on her knees in front of me sponging my a**. It’s intimate.”
The 31-year-old, who has had to film dozens of sex scenes in her latest role
as Virginia Johnson in Channel 4’s Masters of Sex, added: “On True
Blood, I’ve never told anybody this, but I was so nervous and then I was so
drunk, that after I shot the scene I was going up to the crew members.
“I had just met all these people the day before and I was going up to
them like, ‘You got a b*ner! You do! You’ve got one’,” she said as she
imitated her slurred speech.
She added to show host Chelsea Handler: “It was horrible. Horrible!”
