Washington
(ANI):
Doing
a
naked
scene
with
less
people
around
helped
Spanish
actress
Penelope
Cruz
relax
in
her
new
film
Elegy
with
actor
Sir
Ben
Kingsley.
Cruz
had
to
strip
for
the
intimate
moment
she
shares
with
Kingsley
onscreen,
and
director
Isabel
Coixet
insisted
everyone
left
the
set
for
the
awkward
part
of
the
shoot.
"Nobody
else
but
the
director
was
in
the
room.
She
was
operating
the
camera
and
we
could
hear
her
breathing.
There
was
nobody
else
on
the
set
ever," Contactmusic
quoted
Cruz
as
saying.
"The
set
was
lit
by
the
director
of
photography
and
Isabel
operated
the
camera.
Then
it
was
just
the
sound
person,
myself
and
Ben,"
she
said.
The
scene
she
had
to
go
through
was
one
of
the
toughest
she
had
ever
had
in
a
movie,
and
she
was
only
able
to
do
it
because
of
the
intimate
setting.
"Telling
Kepesh
(Kingsley's
character)
that
my
character
(Consuela)
had
cancer
was
the
most
terrifying
scene
for
me
in
that
movie," she
explained.
"It
helped
for
such
an
emotionally
exhausting
scene
that
there
were
only
four
people
there
on
the
set,"
she
added.
