Jameela Jamil shares she ‘pulled out’ of ‘You’ audition as she was uncomfortable ‘doing sex scenes’

Actor-model Jameela Jamil recently opened up about pulling out of auditioning for a role in the psychological thriller series ‘You’ as she was uncomfortable doing sex scenes. ‘The Good Place’ star appeared on the Podcrushed podcast, hosted by ‘You’ star Penn Badgley, Nava Kavelin, and Sofia Ansari.
Jameela said she was initially supposed to audition for the latest season of the Netflix series, but when she learned her ‘character was supposed to be quite sexy’, she ‘pulled out of the audition, because I am so shy about anything sexy that I can’t.’
‘I don’t think I’ve ever been someone who would have enjoyed objectifying myself, personally. But that’s also because I have so much deep, like, childhood sexual trauma stuff. So I think that was never in the cards for me,’ she said.
‘You know, I still wear the… like, the little skirt or the busty top, but like, occasionally. But generally, I feel quite protective of myself in that way. Like, I don’t do sex scenes,’ she added.
‘In fact, I was supposed to audition for the most recent season of your show. My character was supposed to be quite sexy, and I pulled out of the audition, because I am so shy about anything sexy that I can’t,’ Jamil said.
‘And then you f***ing came out and was like, ‘yeah, I’m not doing sex scenes anymore’. And I was like, I didn’t even know that was a boundary that we could draw. But then I was like, I should have gone and done the f***ing show,’ she continued.
Jameela Jamil also praised Penn Badgley for refusing to do sex scenes in ‘You’.
Jameela Jamil is also known for ‘She Hulk: Attorney At Law’ and ‘The Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin’.
