After SAG-AFTRA opened membership to intimacy coordinators back in July, actor Sean Bean slammed the practice for spoiling the “spontaneity” of love scenes for film and TV shows. “It would inhibit me more because it’s drawing attention to things,” the “Game of Thrones” alum told U.K.’s Times Magazine (via Variety). “Somebody saying, ‘Do this, put your hands there, while you touch his thing…’” He said, “I should imagine it slows down the thrust of it....
