Jameela Jamil has revealed that her refusal to do intimate scenes forced her to pull from Netflix's You season four auditions.
Appearing on Stitcher Studios' Podcrushed podcast, the 37-year-old told Penn Badgley, star of You, "I don't do sex scenes. In fact, I was supposed to audition for the most recent season of your show."
"My character was supposed to be quite sexy, and I pulled out of the audition, because I am so shy about anything sexy that I can't," she added.
"And then you came out and were like, 'Yeah, I'm not doing sex scenes anymore," Jameel pointed to the 36-year-old demand for no explicit scenes.
"And I was like, 'I didn't even know that was a boundary that we could draw. But then I was like, I should have gone and done the show."
"I can't even watch sex scenes in films... Even on my own, I have to fast forward through sex scenes because I've become so shy about watching other people," Jameela added.
She explained: "It's not a shame. I feel there's an awkwardness around it."
