Riley Keough revealed that filming a sex scene with her real-life husband Ben Smith-Petersen for her new series "Daisy Jones & the Six" was unexpectedly "awkward." During a Thursday appearance on "Late Night With Seth Meyers," the 33-year-old actress explained that in one scene, her character Daisy "hooks up with a random person" and the show's producers told her that casting the Australian stuntman in the cameo role would be "so funny."  Meyers then asked Keough if simulating intercourse with her spouse on set was "more or less awkward." "It was more awkward," the Golden Globe nominee admitted.  She continued, "I think that they were thinking it would be less awkward. And then we got there, and they're like, 'This is really uncomfortable." "For one, I've never had pretend sex with my husband," Keough added with a laugh.

says, shooting a sex scene with your real-life spouse is a better idea in theory than in reality. Promoting her new series on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Keough explained that the show's producers “thought it would be so funny” if her character's one-night-stand was played by Keough's actual husband, Ben Smith-Petersen. Unfortunately, the intimate scene didn't go quite as smoothly as anticipated.“I think that they were thinking that it would be less awkward,” Keough told Meyers, “And then we got there and we were like, ‘This is really uncomfortable.’” She added, laughing, “For one, I've never had pretend sex with my husband.” The actor explained that normally for a scene like this, she'd meet her acting partner and then just get down to business like professionals.

Shooting intimate scenes with your actual partner can be pretty awkward.
