Acting may not be as straightforward as one might think, and The Sex Lives of College Girls star Pauline Chalamet just proved it with hilarious revelations about the filming of her sex scenes. The actress, who plays Kimberly, a working college student on the show, recently granted an interview where she opened up about the cringe-worthy dynamics involved in putting the addicting HBO Max comedy series to life.
Pauline Chalamet Ad-Libbed The Sex Noises On The Sex Lives Of College Girls
Speaking to Variety, the 30-year-old went into detail about the automated dialogue replacement (ADR) formats she had to work on during post-production. While normal in some instances, the ADR mechanics could get awkward or even cringy when it comes to ad-libbing the sex scenes. Pauline reflected:
While speaking with interviewers, Pauline proceeded to make some moaning sounds to drive home her point. She explained how the producers would urge her on, even requesting she make the sounds more intense. The icon described those moments as “an epitome of cringe.”
Admittedly, she ad-libbed more awkward lines like “Wowee zowee!” during the process. Pauline Chalamet considers filming the sex noises stranger than filming the actual sex scenes. Despite the awkwardness of it all or the cringeworthy moments, she considers working on television a blessing.
Pauline’s Family Has Her Back
While her movie has gained traction since its debut, the star believes the concept is a far cry from being considered normal evident in the general reception of the HBO Max movie. According to her, normalizing movies about the sex lives of female characters was still a work in progress.
Thankfully, Pauline Chalamet, whose younger brother is Timothée Chalamet, has the thumbs up from her family, who have all seen the series, even the sex scenes. She once gushed about how much her brother loved the movie and, admittedly, watched it with at least one of their parents.
The Sex Lives of College Girls star Pauline Chalamet has certainly come a long way in her Hollywood pursuits, perfecting even her most awkward scenes. Hopefully, the world will see more of her in upcoming films and TV shows.
