Steamy: Violante Placido and George Clooney in The American
He has long been considered a heartthrob who women would do anything to get close to.
But George Clooney's sultry Italian co-star in The American doesn't seem to be all that intimidated by the heartthrob.
Violente Placido and Clooney had to film some very graphic sex scenes together. And Placido said her 49-year-old co-star confessed he was lacking experience.
'He confessed … that he didn't do lots of sex scenes,' Placido told People magazine.
'I felt like this was in a way something new to him, he wasn't that experienced.'
Placido, who plays prostitute Clara and Clooney's love interest in the film, explained that Clooney had trouble relaxing during the intimate scenes.
But once she convinced Clooney to trust her, it was much easier.
'We had to find a way to make it natural and let your body speak somehow,' Placido says.
'We were very open to one another to try and make it work. We just said "let’s trust each other" and we did. I felt like we had to let ourselves go.'
And she insists that the sex scene was a pivotal part of the film - hence the need to get it done perfectly.
Up close and personal: Italian actress Violante Placido plays a prostitute called Clara in the movie
'It had to look real; it is the turning point for the two characters,' she says. 'I can tell you that watching it, I don't feel as calm as I did when I was on set filming it. Just watching it is a little like … wow.'
Clooney plays an assassin called Jack in the movie, a man who is attempting to escape his trade after one last assignment. He hides out in the Italian countryside, which is where he meets Placido's character Clara.
And he is right at home filming in Italy, as he owns a home on Lake Como.
Clooney has been dating Italian model and TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis since last summer.
The American opens in the U.S on Wednesday.
