Megalyn Echikunwoke о том, какого это - играть постельную сцену с Дженсеном Эклзом.
Many people know Megalyn from her role as Isabelle Tyler, the over-night adult on The 4400. But she’s probably more infamously known as Dean Winchester’s first love on Supernatural. Megalyn played Cassie in “Route 666,” delivering the show’s first steamy on-screen sex scene.
“That was actually really cool and pleasantly surprising,” says Megalyn, taking time to chat with me on a busy Monday morning. “I wasn’t expecting the opportunity, so when they came to me and said, would you like to do this, I said, sure, sounds great! And you know, Dean is really cute . . . so that’s no problem.”
HI, I’M MEGALYN, LET’S KISS
But jumping into a sex scene with an actor you’ve just met, even one as handsome as Jensen Ackles isn’t all that easy.
“Let’s face it, it’s super awkward. When you think about it, you’re like, ‘oh my god, this is going to be so weird, how’s it going to happen, how are we going to do it?’ But when it comes down to it, on the day, you’ve got like 50 people around, everyone’s doing their job and so you’ve just got to do your job. Most of those scenes end up being so technical that there’s no room left for the awkwardness. You’re trying to make sure your head is in the right place and you’ve got some weird sticky things on your boobs and sticky underwear to make sure your butt cheek is covered …it’s definitely challenging.”
Not that Megalyn didn’t enjoy doing the horizontal tango with one of TV’s sexiest ghostbusters. More like the experience left her. . . speechless!
“[Jensen] and I. . . we just [had to] laugh about it. You know, riding each other. . . and it’s kind of like . . . this is so bizarre! I definitely had fun!”
And though it was only one episode, Megalyn has come to know the power of Supernatural.
“It’s cool to come on to a big show like that, that’s got such a huge following and do one swift episode and leave an impression. Cassie and Dean — I have a lot of fans just from that.”
