Read our privacy policy Jenna Ortega is said to have been “comfortable” and “very sure” of her sex scenes in her new movie, Miller’s Girl, the on-set intimacy coordinator has said amid viewer backlash. Following the movie’s recent release in US cinemas, many viewers have expressed discomfort over the 31-year age gap between the two co-stars, with several branding the film’s intimate scenes “gross”. Martin Freeman and Jenna Ortega in ‘Miller’s Girl' “I’m hyper-aware of both of my talent and making sure that we’re consistently checking in and that at no point are any of their boundaries being surpassed,” she added. “And again, making sure – especially with someone who’s significantly younger – that they are giving continuous consent.” Arjona also said that she, Ortega and Freeman had several open conversations about the use of modesty garments and barriers to ensure there was “appropriate distance” between the actors while filming any sex and nude scenes.
