Kaley Cuoco’s sex confessions – awkward sex scene with ex, romp denial and co-star ‘help’

Kaley Cuoco has quit doing sex scenes after needing “help” from her co-star to get through it in The Flight Attendant.

The Big Bang Theory actress claims she is now too “old” for on-screen romps. She told USA Today: “I don’t shoot that way. I need someone to do it. I’m over that. I’m not going to do it anymore. Besides, who wants to see that? It’s not my thing. I’d rather let someone else do it and that’s the magic of cinema. We don’t have to do those things anymore.”

The star went on to quip: “Someone else can do it for us and fake it. You think Chris Messina played tennis? Please, he sucked. I was his double!”

That’s not to say she hasn’t stripped off on camera before. Daily Star takes a peek between the sheets to see what the Penny actress really gets up to.

Co-star help

Filming her “first true sex scene” in The Flight Attendant, Kaley had to take notes from her on-screen lover and co-star Michiel Huisman to get things going. Finding it difficult to get in the right mood on set, she revealed her more experienced co-star helped a lot.

She explained to USA Today: “Network 8 o’clock TV is a little different than HBO Max all hours of the night. I had scenes like that on Big Bang, but this was like a true sex scene.

“I told Michiel, ‘I’ve never done this before. Have you done it before?’ He goes, ‘Yeah, like 30, 40 times. And I was like, ‘WHAT’?”

She went on to explain: “When they called action, I still wasn’t really giving my all. Michiel finally goes, ‘It looks like you’re hovering over a public toilet. What are you doing?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing’. So he had to awkwardly teach me how to have fake sex.”

Romp with ex

Behind the scenes of the Big Bang Theory, Kaley was busy falling for her co-star Johnny Galecki, who played her love interest Leonard on the show. But speaking on the Armchair Expert podcast, the actress revealed that she reckons producers made them romp on screen as a cruel joke after they split in real life.

One horrifying scene took place in an S&M dungeon with Kaley rocking a red rubber corset and fishnets and wielding a whip, while her co-star was bound to a cross-shaped beam. More saw the pair cuddled in bed together.

Kaley revealed: “When we broke up obviously it was a little sensitive for a minute, but I remember those weeks that Chuck [Lorre] had written these episodes where all of a sudden our characters were like sleeping together every other second.

“Johnny and I talk about it and I think [Chuck] did that on purpose just to f*** with us. Because that came out of nowhere. All of a sudden these characters were all up on each other.”

However, creator Lorre denied the claims, claiming: “No. Not at all. Making a good show has no room for f***ing with anybody. There’s no, ‘Let’s mess with Kaley and Johnny’. The goal was to make a great show and make every minute of every episode count. And that was the only goal.

“We don’t have that kind of freedom to risk a TV series that you put your heart and soul into to mess with somebody’s head. No. I think that’s charming that they think we had the mental capacity to mess with them.”

Nude leak

In 2014, Kaley was among the celebrities who had their nude snaps leaked on the internet in a “disturbing” turn of events. But thankfully the star took it all in her stride.

She explained during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live: “I totally have Google alerts that come to my phone so anything that my name pops up [in] comes to my phone because I’m, like, obsessed. I need to know what’s going on.

“So every day, every day there’s like 30 ‘Kaley Cuoco nude photos’ [alerts]. It’s been going on for years. So then this one came up and I was like, ‘Oh, it’s another fake one’.

“Then I started getting emails like, ‘No, there are some real ones going around.’ It was just a really bad situation but I took it in my own hands and make a joke about it because what are you gonna do? You gotta make fun of yourself.”

Kaley was forced to email her family to warn them about what was happening, before posting a jokey snap to her Instagram to beat the trolls at their own game. She later added to Extra: “Don’t take naked photos. That would be a good start. How about that?

“Just don’t take pictures. I’ve now taken to Polaroid cameras, so I just carry a big Polaroid around my neck, self-aroid, that’s what I do now. No one can get those. Polaroid cameras, that’s the way to go.”

Mile high club

Being romantically entangled with Galecki on the Big Bang Theory set, Kaley denies ever romping in their dressing rooms. Talking about the chemistry behind the scenes, she was quizzed on whether they ever hooked up during filming.

She replied: “Absolutely f***ing not. Not a chance in hell. I wouldn’t do that.” She added the rather bizarre confession: “I’m not in the mile-high club!”

In the behind-the-scenes book The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series, Kaley revealed: “I had a very big crush on Johnny early on. I was so not even hiding it. He has such swagger. We were both dating people at the time, but I only had eyes for Johnny.”

Their first on-screen kiss saw Kaley dressed as a sexy cat for Halloween, and only served to increase the tension between the pair in real life. “I knew I looked real cute in that outfit, so I was feeling really good about myself,” Kaley revealed.

“And I knew he thought I looked cute because he commented on how cute I looked in that outfit earlier. But I was definitely nervous before that kiss.

“I was like, ‘Uh oh.’ I was crushing so hard on him. So much so that I was like, ‘Get me out of here,’ because he had to hold me up and we had to do this really close thing. Even my cheeks were red.”

The pair initially kept their romance on the down-low, with Kaley confessing: “Johnny was very worried about ruining the fans’ outlook on Leonard and Penny, because they weren’t even dating yet at that point in the series.”
