Juno Temple, known for her roles in various films including "Palmer" alongside Justin Timberlake, recently discussed her experience doing int-m@te scenes on screen.
In a recent interview with the Independent, she revealed that for her, int-m@te scenes are less terrifying compared to emotionally charged scenes, particularly those involving giving up a child.
In "Palmer," Juno Temple played Shelly, a character with a pivotal scene with Justin Timberlake's character. Temple shared that she didn't feel the need for an int-m@cy coordinator during the scene. Instead, she emphasized the importance of having open conversations with co-stars and the director to ensure everyone is comfortable and on the same page.
Juno expressed feeling safe and at ease working with Justin Timberlake, whom she considers a friend. This familiarity and trust contributed to her comfort during the scene. Interestingly, Temple admitted that doing a scene was less daunting for her than scenes where she had to emotionally give up her child.
Reflecting on her portrayal of Shelly in "Palmer," Juno Temple described empathizing deeply with the character. Shelly is depicted as a struggling addict, ill-equipped to be a mother but excelling as a friend to her son. Temple approached the role with the perspective that Shelly herself is still like a child, struggling with addiction and its consequences.
