LONDON:

Movie legend Ben Kingsley says he lets his female co-stars lead while filming sex scenes because he doesn’t want them to feel that they are being molested.

Kingsley, who is currently shooting with Penelope Cruz for Elegy, dissipates any kind of awkwardness during love scenes by giving his partner complete control, contactmusic.com reports. The actor said, “Whenever I have the privilege of having a great leading lady, I do ask my leading lady, ‘I want you to choreograph the scene, I want you to be comfortable and whatever you feel enhances your character and your narrative in the film. I will not lead the dance’.” “It seems to work beautifully. It gives them a security and a confidence. They know they’re not going to be molested, they know that they’re in charge,” he added.
