'Lord of the Rings' and 'Game of Thrones' actor Sean Bean's recent criticism of intimacy coordinators aka sex scene advisors has ignited a debate in the world of showbiz. Several actors have shared their opinion in public about the same and have opposed Bean for his comments. Many celebs including Emma Thompson have advocated the need for intimacy coordinators for the safety and comfort of actresses on sets.

In response to Bean who said that coordinators reduce the natural way lovers behave into a technical exercise, Thompson said, “Intimacy coordinators are the most fantastic introduction in our work. And no, you can’t just ‘let it flow’.”

“There’s a camera there and a crew – it’s not on your own in a hotel room. You’re surrounded by a bunch of blokes carrying things. So it’s not a comfortable situation, full stop,” Thompson shared on the Fitzy and Wippa radio show in Australia.

The 63-year-old also shared that in similar situations coordinators made her feel safe and comfortable. "It made me feel safe, it made me feel as though I was able to do this work," Thompson added.

Earlier this week, Bean gave a few statements to United Kingdom's Times Magazine that didn't go down well with some celebs and fans. He said, “I think the natural way lovers behave would be ruined by someone bringing it right down to a technical exercise," while referring to intimacy coordinators.

Emma Thompson backs intimacy coordinators after Sean Bean's criticism

Amanda Seyfried is thinking back on her career and the strain she has gone through while filming nude scenes at a young age. ‘The Dropout'&nbsp;actress recently recalled being forced into awkward circumstances and wished there had been intimacy coordinators when she first started. "Being 19, walking around without my underwear on – like, are you kidding me? How did I let that happen?" she said in an interview with Porter magazine.

She added, "Oh, I know why: I was 19 and I didn’t want to upset anybody, and I wanted to keep my job. That’s why."

Seyfried started her acting career in shows such as ‘As the World Turns’ and ‘All My Children.' However, she got her big break when she got the&nbsp;chance to play Karen Smith in ‘Mean Girls’ at the age of 18, alongside Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams.

Previously, in an interview with Marie Claire, the actor opened up about feeling uncomfortable after playing the character as she would receive comments from boys approaching her for weather forecasts as her character in the film would predict rain by holding her breasts, reported Fox News.

"I always felt really grossed out by that. I was like 18 years old. It was just gross," she recalled.

The Emmy-nominated actor also talked about her disappointment at not getting another musical role in the film adaptation of ‘Wicked’.&nbsp;

The actor’s comments come after ‘Game of Thrones’ star Sean Bean stated that he isn’t a fan of intimacy coordinators as they "spoil the spontaneity" of the scenes. "I think the natural way lovers behave would be ruined by someone bringing it right down to a technical exercise. It would inhibit me more because it’s drawing attention to things," he said.&nbsp;

She also discussed how young individuals in the profession feel completely shattered when they don't land a role. "Nothing can crush me completely when it comes to work. I’m uncrushable! Not one thing can crush my life unless it has to do with my family," she shared.&nbsp;

Seyfried was nominated for the Emmys this year for her performance in Hulu’s ‘The Droupout’, where she played the founder of Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes. The actor married Thomas Sadoski in 2017 and they have two kids: Nina and Thomas.

Amanda Seyfried regrets shooting nude scenes in the early years of her career

It's been almost a decade&nbsp;since the first season of the 'Game of Thrones' aired, but till now, we all are shocked by the death of Ned Stark. Sean Bean, the actor who played the iconic character is now looking back at the death scene.&nbsp; 
 
Talking about his character, Bean said that the moment of Ned's beheading is still fresh in his mind. 
 
''It was horror and disbelief — that Joffrey changed his mind [about exiling Ned] — and then resignation and [realizing that he was] seeing his daughter for the last time, Arya,” the 61-year-old actor recalls of the shocking scene.&nbsp; 
 
“I was trying to think of all four [things]. It wasn’t just, ‘Oh God, I’m getting my head chopped off.’ Those mix of feelings is what made it what it was, I suppose. It took like a whole day or so to film it and you so you have to just keep focused on the fact that you’re about to meet your death without messing around,” the actor adds. 
 
“I was very hot at the time so that probably helped. And everybody else’s reactions were fantastic — Cersei and the kids. It was very moving with a lot of pathos in that scene. Then I put my head in the block and I was finished for the day.” 
 
One of the most popular TV show ended with its eighth season in 2019.
