Angelina Jolie shared her thoughts on the experience of filming intimate scenes with her husband, Brad Pitt, in their recent movie, By The Sea.

In this film, which she directed and is set in the 1970s, the couple portrays a married pair navigating through their relationship challenges.

Jolie disclosed that during these particular scenes, they attempted to lighten the mood by exchanging jokes.

The actress, who also took on the role of director for the movie, expressed how surreal it was for both of them.

She recounted the peculiar scenario of being undressed in a bathtub with an iPad displaying the shot outside, while directing her spouse to join her for a love scene, all under the gaze of a crew of cameramen.

“I’ve had experiences with filming intimate scenes previously, but this was unlike any other.

It felt incredibly odd to be in that situation,” Jolie shared with Entertainment Weekly.

By The Sea features Jolie and Pitt as a couple entangled in emotional conflicts, including passionate reconciliations after heated arguments.

The movie delves into the complexities of their characters’ relationship dynamics.

Reflecting on the challenges of filming such intimate moments, Jolie remarked, “It was truly bizarre.

I couldn’t even leave the bathtub to check the monitor because the director, who happened to be me, was also part of the scene.”

Love scenes inherently carry a level of awkwardness, but the added layer of portraying intimacy with someone you are romantically involved with intensified the peculiarity of the situation.

To navigate through these scenes, Jolie emphasized the importance of acknowledging the absurdity of the circumstances and ensuring everyone involved felt at ease throughout the filming process.

While critics have offered mixed reviews for By The Sea, the audience will have the opportunity to form their own opinions when the movie premieres in
