Stars Who Have Never Filmed An “Intimate” Scene

By Haider Ali in Entertainment On 16th February 2017

So what do we mean by an “intimate scene”? Technically, we mean sex scenes, but really any intense sexual encounters count, within reason. Some have made out on camera, while others have even pretended to have a sex scene, but none of the actors in this list have ever had one that was intended to fool the audience. We’ll deal with each in a case by case basis, but the next time you see any of the stars that are on this list involved in a sex scene in a movie, you will be able to turn to the person next to you and say, “guess what? This is their first ever sex scene.” Maybe don’t say it to a random stranger in the theater, but, if you know the person, prepare to impress the pants off of the them.

#1 Chloe Grace Moretz

Watching someone grow up on screen makes it strange when they become grown adults and their on-screen images change. Moretz has turned from a precocious child into a feisty teen, and now, at 20 years old, she’s a woman. While she hasn’t appeared in any intimate scenes yet, it’s almost a given that they will happen at some point soon, as they do with most actresses. The word on the streets is that Moretz and Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising co-star, Zac Efron, did actually film a sex scene, but it was cut from the film.

#2 Audrey Hepburn

Her choice to remain modest probably had a lot to do with her squeaky clean public image and the fact that she represented an upper-class type of actress, a more refined sex symbol than some of the lewder actresses. In those days, most actresses fell into one of two classes, those who were overtly sexy and those who were sexy but modest.

#3 Neal McDonaugh

It wasn’t anything to so with his co-star, Virginia Madsen, the decision had to do with McDonaugh’s religious beliefs and personal morals. This no-sex clause has been in McDonaugh’s contract since he started acting and he’s not about to change it now. The actor has been in a number of shows and films that have sex as the centerpiece and McDonaugh has managed to wade through them without sacrificing his body, so to speak.

#4 Rita Wilson

That’s pretty remarkable. Back in 1985, Wilson and Tom Hanks met on the set of Volunteers and they’ve been together ever since. Wilson’s had a few scenes where behind-the-scenes sex is implied, such as in Mixed Nuts, but never anything explicit. By this point in her career, Wilson isn’t about to break her streak. When she appeared in Girls, Wilson put in a no-nudity clause, just in case they asked her to do anything nude or sexual.

#5 John Rhys-Davies

John Rhys-Davies has portrayed rougher and tougher type characters. Not to say that’s all he has played, but it would be difficult to ever picture any of his characters in a sexy scene. For whatever reason, Rhys-Davies has all but avoided sex scenes in his career (or he’s been avoided). Nowadays, Rhys-Davies looks too much like his Lord of the Rings character, Gimli, to have any director go out of their way to break the actor’s run of sexless films. Rhys-Davies is also a tad pompous, which may play into it.

#6 Danny Devito

Philadelphia will look at this and remember back to when Frank (Danny Devito) had sex on screen while he was dressed like a Native person. So, why are we counting him? Though the scene does happen, technically, it’s so far from gratuitous that we don’t think it should count. Both Devito and the woman are entirely blurred out and only his head is visible. It’s more of a gag to show you how he’s dressed than a sex scene. Plus, outside of this little endeavour, Devito has never done anything of the kind. He’s never been considered the sexy type, so filmmakers have used him in other ways. In many of his films, he’s had beautiful women on his arm, but they never take it further than a few kisses here or there.

#7 Kirk Cameron & Candace Cameron Bure

Both have talked about this too, saying they’ve decided against it because of their religious beliefs. When Candace was asked if it was awkward for her and her husband to watch her get intimate on screen, she said, “It certainly can! I’ve never considered doing a sex scene nor is it an option just on personal conviction. But, that simple kiss at the end of a movie when the guy and girl finally profess their love for one another…

#8 Bruce Lee

They wanted to make him into the deadliest man in film, any love-making scenes might make him appear less than that. He did, however, film one sex scene in his career. It just never made it to the final cut. The film was The Big Boss, and the scene was to show Lee having sex with a prostitute, but it was cut for being too lewd. In the scene, the activity between the two was so wild that the people in the neighboring rooms were trying to get a better look at the action. Seems like Lee was multi-talented.

#9 Jennifer Lawrence

In her newest film, Passengers, Lawrence and co-star Chris Pratt do get down and dirty, so JLaw doesn’t really deserve to be on this list anymore. But, if you consider the movies she’s been in and the fact that she’s been a sex symbol for many of them, it’s still crazy. Plus, with Passengers still in theaters, it’s not official for everyone yet. Now there’s another little caveat here. In Serena, there was a sex scene that involved JLaw’s character, but they used a body double for the shots.

#10 Cara Delevingne

Coming from the modelling world, Delevingne isn’t against any of that. It just so happens that she hasn’t been involved in that side of the industry yet. “I already know when I look at a script and f I have to be naked, there are just things that I look for that I know automatically whether it’s something I don’t want to do or not,” she said. “I have morals I want to keep to,” she added. “We’ll see. You have good people around you who help you make those decisions. Hopefully I pick the right one [but] you never know these things… If it’s a role I’d really love, I’d do it. It just depends. For the sake of art, always.
