James McAvoy has confessed that he found filming sex scenes difficult. The Scottish actor said it was hard to enjoy doing love scenes. “It’s sweaty and uncomfortable,” McAvoy told The Daily Record. “My paranoia is the girl I’m doing the sex scene with will think I’m getting off on her. I have nightmares about that the night before a sex scene. There’s no chance of getting any kind of stimulus because you’re so nervous and there’s all these people watching you.” McAvoy, who filmed a love since with Keira Knightley in Atonement, added: “It’s daunting. They’re considered to be the most beautiful people in the world, and I’m clearly not. I don’t think I’ve been hit by the ugly stick, but I’m not exactly a matinee idol.” Having got up close and personal with Keira, he is quick to shoot down rumours she has an eating disorder. “She’s really not anorexic,” he insisted. “I’ve felt every part of her in many scenes in Atonement and she is fine. There’s meat on those bones, I guarantee you,” he said.
