Actress Kerry Washington hates shooting intimate scenes for 'Scandal' because she feels awkward.
The 'Scandal' actress admits she finds it "hard" to shoot intimate scenes between her screen alter ego Olivia Pope with her co-star Tony Goldwyn, who plays Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III, the married president of the Unites States, because she is being asked to do things she would normally only do with husband Nnamdi Asomugha, reported Contactmusic.
"They're hard to do. Intimate scenes are always awkward. You're doing things that you're supposed to do with only certain people in your life.
"Because this is not your real partner in life, doing that is awkward. And then doing it in a room full of people is awkward," she said.
And the 37-year-old actress, who has six-month-old daughter Isabelle with her spouse, worries about offending Goldwyn's wife Jane Musky over their scenes and the surrounding interest.
