Gwyneth Paltrow on Why She Refused Ethan Hawke Intercourse Scene

Count on Gwyneth Paltrow to stay to her ideas.

Whereas she and Ethan Hawke share quite a few tender moments, together with some that may qualify as intimate, in Alfonso Cuarón‘s 1998 adaptation of Nice Expectations, Paltrow handed on doing what would have been—because the actors described it 27 years later—a much more specific love scene.

“Do you bear in mind Alfonso pitching you the love scene?” Hawke requested Paltrow in a December dialog for Self-importance Truthful.

“Oh my god,” she recalled, “he is like [in the Mexican director’s accent], ‘After which he’ll go down on you,’ and I used to be like, ‘Oh my god, my father’s going to have a coronary heart assault!'” (Paltrow was very near her dad, Bruce Paltrow, who died in 2002.)

Hawke continued, additionally mimicking Cuarón (whom he known as a “great lunatic”), “‘He’ll go down on you, the digital camera’s going to go down your stomach, after which it is going to go up your breasts! After which it is going to go in your face as you attain ecstasy! And once you attain ecstasy, the sunshine will explode prefer to the solar!'”

“And,” the Blue Moon star added, “I bear in mind Gwyneth is like, ‘Alfonso, I am by no means going to try this.'”
