Cut to the former James Bond star Sir Roger Moore once admitting that it was a perk. He had said famously: “I always rather liked [them]; I felt we didn't have enough of those, really.”

James Norton was seen recently in BBC dramas’ ‘War And Peace and McMafia’. Talking about sex scenes, he said, “Everyone's sensitive about their naked body — so if you are going to have a sex scene, write 'sex scene', and have actors say what they're comfortable with.”
