‘Stripping before room full of men was challenging’

LONDON - Actor Justin Long says shooting intimate scenes in front of a room full of grown-up men made him feel “uncomfortable”.
“I would say some of the naked stuff was a little uncomfortable. I think a lot of the really intimate, sexual stuff around a room full of thirty, forty grown men, that was a challenge,” contactmusic.com quoted him as saying.
“All the guys in my room, all the crew guys, were like trying to make jokes to keep it light. Or they were making sex jokes,” he added.
The actor stars alongside his on/off girlfriend Drew Barrymore in romantic comedy “Going The Distance”.
While Justin struggled with the intimate scenes, Drew admits she finds it hard to kiss her co-stars for the first time, but was fortunate when she had to lock lips with Justin.
“I just was lucky because he’s a good kisser. So it’s like, ‘Whew, thank God.’ The worst for me is kissing someone who is not a good kisser and you’re trying to make it look good and you feel like you’re just working on your own. At least it was a real team effort,” she said.
