"The iconic actor, who hails from Kent, has spoken of his regret about taking part in an unsimulated oral sex scene with co-star Kerry Fox."
What has Kerry Fox said about the sex scene in Intimacy?
Despite her co-star's qualms about the unsimulated oral sex scene, Fox has a much more positive perspective on it.
The 59-year-old actress, from New Zealand, previously explained that it had actually proved somewhat 'helpful' for her career-wise, despite the controversy it caused.
"As for Mark’s regrets about the film, I suppose that’s the point of taking these risks: you don’t really know how you’re going to respond," she told The Telegraph.
"You can’t control how it will affect your career, but if you don’t take risks you’re destined for a life of boring work.
Intimacy was a censorship landmark.
"I remember Jane Campion, who had just made her film
In the Cut with Meg Ryan, was really p***ed off with me that we were able to have such a frank oral sex scene."
