Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Longoria said she was 'so close' to Metcalfe - but said there should have been an intimacy coordinator for people who felt 'uncomfortable'.
Eva Longoria has said Desperate Housewives should have employed an intimacy coordinator as she opened up about what it was really like to film so many raunchy scenes with Jesse Metcalfe.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Longoria said she was ‘so close’ to Metcalfe with whom she would have open conversations about intimate moments – but said show bosses should have had an intimacy coordinator for anyone who felt ‘uncomfortable’. The actress, 49, played Gabriella Solis, a trophy wife who embarks on a sordid affair with her teenage gardener John Rowland, played by Metcalfe
‘But Jesse and I were so close that we had a really nice relationship and agreement about what we were comfortable with.’ She continued: ‘Also, we were on network TV, so there wasn't a lot we could do anyway.Longoria, who is married to Jose Baston, addressed claims made by actors including Michael Douglas and Sean Bean, who previously claimed intimacy coordinators ‘spoil the spontaneity’ of intimate scenes.
Gabriella and John were frequently seen enjoying steamy clinches as Longoria’s character battled to hide their illicit romance from her husband Carlos, played by Ricardo S. Chavira‘I do think they're necessary and I do think nothing about sex scenes in movies and TV is ruined . The chemistry, it's all technical. It's all choreographed.’
Texan-born Longoria went on to star in The Sentinel and Brooklyn Nine-Nine following her turn in the ABC hit, and will next be seen in Apple drama Land of Women, which she filmed in her new home - Spain.
