Wolverine really does look like two Batmen kissing
It really depends on the actor. I think we can all agree that not every actor has the same emotional maturity and therefore will not all react the same to it. For example, take a look at what Jonah Hill expects from his partners versus Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively seeming to be a healthy couple while both have had some raunchy scenes in movies featuring other people.
Jonah Hill really is a piece of shit. I’m glad my gut instinct was to fall into a bottomless pit of cringe every time he appears on screen. I could never stand that fat little toad.

My ex is an actress. It never bothered me really. She saw it as part of the job and I do too. I’m the one she’s looking for in the audience and taking her home at the end of the show lol.

Acting is emotional prostitution at best, and actual prostitution at worst. If you aren’t comfortable with that, then don’t get in a relationship with an actor. No point burning your relationship down later because you suddenly don’t like the context of that prostitution.
what the fuck are you talking about? How on earth is something like playing Pozzo in Waiting for Godot, or James Sr in Long Days Journey “emotional prostitution”?
Is an actor paid for their labour? No. They are paid to emote, so that it can be commodified and sold for profit. Human emotion for sale. It’s prostitution.
It is definitely labor. And the only unpaid work I’ve done in 20 years is for showreel, I definitely don’t do unpaid theatre and haven’t since I graduated drama school.
Learning lines (which is unpaid work before rehearsals even begin), blocking (and depending on role: combat, intimacy as is being discussed, music/song, choreography, props and costume tracks) are all pretty hard work. Not to mention 5 weeks of 10 hour days 6 days a week as a standard rehearsal process (all of which is usually done standing and moving, so generally harder physical work, longer hours and fewer days off than an office job).
To say nothing of “hell week” (tech and dress).
For us semi-pros, I’m often doing my day job around roles as well.
Prostitution is a very hard job.
By that token all labor is prostitution of a sort, and thus the term loses all meaning, so its pointless calling it that.
all labor is prostitution
Pleased to meet you, comrade.
I disagree. Growing your own food is labor. Volunteering is labor. Organizing is labor. Caring for your family is labor.
It’s a living.
Why is Wolverine concerned with Mermaid Ariel and Prince Eric kissing?
Fuck you OP for that title, I can’t unsee it.
Maybe they are not insecure?
Be as secure as you will, if you see your SO in a romance scene in a typical hig h profile movie with all the right camera angles and music and all… it’s bound to do at least something to you, right?
No that’s the point. If you are not insecure and trust your partner then you know it’s just acting.
I mean, it comes down to jealousy, right? And that’s an emotion… You can’t really control your emotions
I think it’s more a matter of “is this a deal breaker”. Some people just might avoid those movies, some people might need to see it and get reassurance, some people can’t handle it at all. And some people just aren’t bothered - there’s people who are fine with their partner dating other people so long as they come home at the end of the night
You are in fact the only person that can control your emotions.
I’m not suggesting that they might assume any of the acted scene had real feelings behind it. Yet still, visually seeing your SO seemingly doing intimate stuff will make you feel something. You might not be jealous or anything, yet still. That has nothing to do with insecurity. You can feel awkward without jealousy, can’t you?
There are plenty of people who are completely comfortable with their partners being strippers or porn stars. It’s just their work at the end of the day.
I’m sure plenty of people don’t really feel anything about it.
Yeah, and that something can be communicated. But at the end of the day it’s their job. I follow a therapist on YouTube that talks about his wife’s modeling career on occasion and he never really cared. He saw the work that goes into it and knows it’s just that - work. I think on the rare occasions it did bring up some feelings of jealousy he communicated the insecurity and got reassurance from her. That obviously worked well enough that they’ve been married a couple decades.
On the work end, keep in mind how many times they have to shoot scenes/photos and how extremely unromantic/inauthentic it is.
Psychology in Seattle, perhaps?
Hell yes, deserving listener!
They feel with their hands and fingers mostly.
I sometimes wonder about that word “finger”. If fingers fing, then what is finging?
Ever wondered why the divorce rate in hollywood is so high? Must not be easy to deal with that shit
Well I doubt they care because they are also acting in a different movie kissing someone else.
I’m sure the divorce rate is high because they are limited to a small dating pool. The average person, you and I, are not severely limited to other famous people, and divorce rate for normal people like us is extremely high as well.
Just do what Leo does and date some random teenage Instagram model.
I doubt those relationships last long or are fulfilling, but I also doubt any celebrity marriage is fulfilling and there’s a lot more baggage involved.
It’s acting, it doesn’t mean anything
It’s just a job lol
A sexy job ohhhh yeahhh!
That’s a nice demonstration of Western capitalist degeneracy.
… Are you being ironic? I legitimately can’t tell anymore on this website.
Probably serious. These mfs can’t turn that shit off for nothin. People kissing on TV? Degen capitalist conspiracy by the west ^tm.
Professional acting predates capitalism and will outlive it, too
I’ll accept the degeneracy, but you can keep the rest.
