Rooney Mara has spoken on nudity and sex scenes in films. The actress recently had to film a sex scene with on-screen husband Channing Tatum for the movie ‘Side Effects’ and says she always has to trust the director when it comes to calling the shots regarding her nudity levels. However, when she was asked to simulate a reverse cowgirl sex position for the film, she decided to put her foot down. Otherwise she feels nudity is quite natural and not something she is ever ashamed of:
“I just do what I’m told, when I’m told. There is a line, though—like when you asked me to do reverse cowgirl with Channing [Tatum, who plays Mara’s husband in Side Effects], and I put my foot down. If the character should be nude in the scene and it makes sense and I trust the person making the film—and I regret my decision to trust you now that I know you more—then I don’t see a problem with it. I certainly don’t want to be involved in anything that is gratuitous, but I don’t think the human body is something to be ashamed of. Every other person on the planet has the same parts as I do. So seeing them shouldn’t be a huge shock to most people.”
Commenting on only eating food she deems “normal”, Rooney says she won’t touch food that has been overly chemically processed because she doesn’t think it’s natural and believes it might be potentially very harmful for her body:
“By “normal,” do you mean food that has been genetically modified? I try to eat food that hasn’t been washed in ammonia and then packaged in the shape of breaded dinosaurs filled with cheese—even though those are very tasty. I like to eat food that can actually make it through the 20-plus feet of my small intestine.”
