During press tours for her new television project, The Regime, actress Kate Winslet took the time to stress the importance of intimacy coordinators on set during filming. The interview was conducted with The New York Times. 

The idea behind an intimacy coordinator on set is to assist the directors and actors on set while filming sexual scenes, and to keep the set and filming practices as safe and comfortable for the actors as can be. 

Kate Winslet is no stranger to intimate scenes on set of films, even including her role in James Cameron’s Titanic. The established actress said that she struggled to find her voice on set during scenes like that, and wouldn’t state if certain aspects the scene called for made her uncomfortable. 

As Variety reports, Winslet stated that an intimacy coordinator would have gone a long way for her “every single time I had to do a love scene or be partially naked or even a kissing scene.” 

The actress went on to say, “when you’re young, you’re so afraid of pissing people off or coming across as rude or pathetic because you might need those things. So learning to have a voice for oneself in those environments was very, very hard.”

On top of appearing in The Regime, Winslet appeared in 2022’s Avatar: The Way Of Water, and is set to star in the third film in the series.
