The Behind Her Eyes star discusses Netflix’s new psychological drama, emulating slugs in her sex scenes, and the strange date she went on with a fan.

Did you work with an intimacy coordinator?

Yeah, Ita [O’Brien]. She was the one who did Normal People. She was amazing. And that was the first time I worked with one. She uses animal references for the sort of noises or the physical reactions that she wants from you. So she might say, “Have you ever seen a horse buck? Do it like that.” Or, “Have you ever seen slugs having sex? It’s kind of like this movement.” So, it’s a sort of way to communicate with you that doesn’t feel as invasive as just saying “harder” or “faster” or something that might make you feel really uncomfortable.
