Hartnett's Awkward Sex Scene

Posted Sep 7th 2006 12:57PM by TMZ Staff

Movie buffs and perverts alike are chomping at the bit to see Josh Hartnett and Scarlett Johansson get down and dirty in "The Black Dahlia." But in a statement guaranteed to shock the majority of the male population, Hartnett says filming those sex scenes wasn't as easy as everyone thinks.

"It was very difficult for me," says Hartnett. "Those scenes are eternally awkward because you got a bunch of sweaty dudes sitting and watching you and you're just hoping to make it intimate, make it real."

Though the two are a couple off-camera, Hartnett was still a little hesitant about shooting the nude scene, which has already caused a stir at the Venice Film Festival. "Brian [DePalma, the director] didn't tell me about it until he'd shot a take ... and that take is in the movie and I'm like what are you doing man, you can't do that!"
"The Black Dahlia" opens September 15.

6. Put a black wig on his head, shrink him to about 10% of his size, and wrap him in Tom Cruise's leather clad arms, and you got yerself Suri Cruise, my friends.

7. Josh is beyond hot.. Give it up to the man... his voice alone is captivating. There is nothing wrong with him, well, except his taste in women.

8. Post # 6. Dead on. ( except you forgot the earrings ) I think this posting is where the got the rendition of what they thought SURI would look like ha ha ha

As far as his complaining about " WHAT HARD WORK IT IS " In scope of the big picture, I hardly think so. I can think of plenty of other jobs that are a lot harder than his. Let's give this guy a gun and send him to the front line to defend our country, than he will know what ' HARD WORK IS " Stop your bitching and do another TAKE . GEEZ..............GET A GRIP. Reality bites !!!
