While filming her new movie ‘Somebody I Used to Know’, actress Alison Brie has been accused of filming intimate scenes with co-star Jay Ellis.
A seemingly normal request for a romantic comedy, Brie was performed in said scenes by her husband, Dave Franco, with whom she co-wrote the film.
“It doesn’t make Dave and me uncomfortable,” the actress told Jezebel of her husband’s direction during the sex scenes.
“We’ve worked together enough now – I mean the second movie we did together, as actors, was Jeff Baena’s ‘The Little Hours’, and in that movie Dave has makeup scenes or sex with three other actresses and me. So I just feel like it was the ripping of the bandage,” she said.

Brie and Franco have been married since 2017, starring together in several projects including “The Disaster Artist,” “The Rental,” and “Horse Girl.”
“I realize that sounds wild, but we’re actors, that’s our job,” she said of Franco directing her in their new Amazon movie.
“It’s actually not that weird. And with something like that, because it’s our baby that we made together, I think our first priority is always just the movie. Does the scene smells good and good?” she added. “For example, we don’t want my romantic scenes with Jay to turn out awkward or weird.”

Brie, 40, has been transparent about her working relationship with Franco, 37, in the past, telling People last summer that she and Franco “usually have some sort of conversation” before signing on to a project with a scene. of sex, “just to warn the other person.”
“You don’t want to blind anyone, I don’t think, with that information,” she explained of their decision to come clean before the roles. “But at the same time, it’s part of our job. It’s a weird part, and I can see how the outside eye [it might come off].”
