is a young actress to her name is Amy Leewood.
Now I'm watching The White Lotus. This is the show
that's very popular on HBO Max. Right. No spoilers, Yeah,
no spoilers, but they were dropping them every Sunday, I
think every once a week. There's only had two out
right now, right? Two? Yes? Amy is she? So?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
She is her character well British? Yes. So people may
know her from the Netflix series Sex Education, that's like
where she's most known from, but right now she plays
Chelsea on The White Lotus. So she's the person. She
went to the resort with her considerably older boyfriend Rick,
who is played by Walton Goggins, and she is opening

(00:38):
up about her intimate scene in episode two. So Amy
told Elle that for the first time in her career,
she was allowed to view and approve her love scenes

they've had intimacy coordinators for a few I know, for
a few years now.

Speaker 1 (01:46):

because I saw it doesn't matter unless I'm by myself
with Georgia. I'm uncomfortable with hot scenes around anyone, even

(02:08):
if I'm in a relationship. It makes me uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
That's so interesting.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Do you compare yourself? Is that? I get that comfortable, like, like,
what do we do that? I'm like, oh gosh, they're
way way more fun than us. Yeah, so I get

inadequacy of real life versus. Yeah, I'm just like, oh
