Secret Diary of a Call Girl’s Billie Piper explains how she handles filming sex scenes
Whew! This week’s Secret Diary of a Call Girl was hotter and funnier than ever. Belle must be such a fun character to play — but actress Billie Piper says the role cost her the sweetheart/girl-next-door image she built as a teenaged star in the UK.
Piper recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the sexual underworld the show portrays, what it’s meant for her career, and how she feels about filming the explicit sex scenes. Oh, she also admits to keeping some of the frilly lingerie from her wardrobe on the show — not for use at home, but because she thinks it’s beautiful.
As for the sex scenes, she says, “You can emotionally disconnect from the clumsy, awkward scenes. The intimate emotional sex scenes are really tricky. Basically, you hold your breath and go for it. . . . I really wanted to play the role. I knew there was going to be a certain level of sex and intimacy because I was playing a prostitute, so I had to go with it early on.”

2008 Season of weeds is not good! In fact, the writers really droped the ball this year! It is so disappointing. Bummer!
