Connie Britton |
“Nashville” Star Connie Britton appeared on HuffPost Live and chatted with host Ricky Camilleri about season three of the hit ABC series. Britton also discussed her new movie, "This Is Where I Leave You," revealing that she wishes her sex scene with Adam Driver hadn't been cut from the film, which hits theaters on September 19. Excerpts and clips below.
Connie Britton: "Most of my stuff was with Adam [Driver]. I was playing his girlfriend and I have become a huge fan of his from ‘Girls’… He’s just lovely and wonderful and down to earth and we had a great time… He’s just on fire but he’s so consistent as an actor… We actually shot a sex scene that didn’t end up making it into [‘This Is Where I Leave You’]. That incidentally was the first sex scene that [director] Shawn Levy has ever shot… [Levy] was so nervous. I think he was blushing the entire time. It was hilarious ... I would've liked if it had been in the movie."
Britton: "Adam Driver is the king of the sex scene, a la 'Girls,'... But he was so great and he was so kind of like , 'I want to make sure you're comfortable,' and I was like, 'I'm fine! No problem -- let's take care of Shawn Levy, he might need some help!'"
Britton also spoke about shooting "Friday Night Lights" in Austin and the pressure of TV ratings.
Britton: "It was funny, we would end the season [of ‘Friday Night Lights’] in Austin. We shot in Austin so we always felt like we were in a bubble. We just didn’t kill ourselves worrying about ratings and what was happening in LA and how people were perceiving our show… We always felt really removed in a wonderful way from all of that stuff. It worked beautifully – the connection between our writers who were all in LA and our show-runner and the crew and the cast in Austin. It worked seamlessly."
