The justice league star was seen on the Happy Sad Confused episode on Monday alongside his Argylle director, Mathew Vaughn and he was clearly speaking about these sex scenes we have in movies.
“I don't understand them - I'm not a fan.”
He says.He continues to bring his point home.
“There are times a sex scene actually is beneficial to a movie, rather than just the audience.....I think sometimes they're over used these days.”
“It is when you have a sense that you're going “Is this really necessary” or is it just people with less clothing on?
“That’s when you start to get more uncomfortable and you're thinking ‘There’s not a performance here- There's not a piece which is going to carry through to the rest of the movie.
And I so think it can be a little bit of a cop-out if a TV show or a movie is just filled with gyrating bodies and you're going ‘Okay what is this doing for us apart from the idea of “Oh, naked person, great?’
Sex scenes can be great in a movie and really help with story telling.
He adds, “Most of the time, human imagination is gonna triumph it
Henry Cavill is not completely speaking against sex scenes and that they should be out of the movie. He's just trying to say only sex scenes that tell the story in the movie and not the unnecessary ones are the ones that should be acted. He thinks they have have been over used in these movies coming out now.
You know he had an embarrassing experience back in 2015 which he admits on an interview Men's Fitness. He says he got aroused filming a racy scene.
“A girl had to be on top of me, she had spectacular breasts, and I hadn't rearranged my....stuff into a harmless position. She's basically rubbing herself all over me, um, it got a bit hard.”
I had to apologise profusely afterward. It's not great when you're in a professional acting environment and get a boner, is it? No, not acceptable.
So he's just not seeing the point in these too much and not needed sex scenes in movies He's just obviously trying to bring back the decency in movies that maybe he feels are falling out.
The big question is “What does the audience want?”
