He then elaborated on how much he had to apologize to the actress afterward. Although it was not as much in his control, he kept on apologizing profusely because of the incident. The tension that was to be acted out in the scene had become too intense for the actor and had backfired for him in return.
“You don’t think of s*x scenes as showing your bum to the nation,” he explains. “It’s actually acutely uncomfortable being n*ked in a roomful of people. The very last thing it is is s*xy. The actual physicality is very uncomfortable.”
Being aroused in front of so many people in a professional environment is unsuitable and can be embarrassing for both actors. So Cavill’s interaction had been both awkward and uncomfortable.
