There’s been a lot of changes made to filming sex scenes on the sets of films and TV shows over the years. Sets are often more closed than they used to be, and intimacy coordinators are brought in to help with "big challenges" and to ensure actors are comfortable with what transpires when the cameras are watching. Of course, this doesn’t mean that every single 'awkward moment' can be avoided, as evidenced when Sydney Sweeney talked filming her steamy –literally and figuratively – shower scene in "Anyone But You" with Glen Powell.
In the movie, the two have a meet-cute early on but then through a series of miscommunications get to a point where they seemingly hate each other (but still occasionally have to spend time together). The very "Much Ado About Nothing" plot eventually leads to them hooking up again, and the shower scene very much makes it clear why "Anyone But You" landed an R-rating. It’s juicy. But for Sweeney, the most majorly awkward thing was not having to act opposite Powell but having to do so while 40 crew members were weighing in.
