George Clooney’s Co-Star Spills Secrets About Their ‘American’ Sex Scene

Violante Placido, George Clooney's gorgeous co-star in 'The American,' says she and George tried to let their bodies "speak" during their sex scene in the new thriller.

"We had to find a way to make it natural and let your body speak somehow," Placido tells People.com. "We were very open to one another to try and make it work. We just said, 'Let’s trust each other,' and we did. I felt like we had to let ourselves go."

"It had to look real; it is the turning point for the two characters," she continues. "I can tell you that watching it, I don't feel as calm as I did when I was on set filming it. Just watching it is a little like … wow."
