Bosworth: Alcohol helped with sex scene

HOLLYWOOD, March 29 (UPI) -- U.S. actress Kate Bosworth says she and her "21" co-star, actor Jim Sturgess, used alcohol to help loosen them up for a sex scene in the film.

The "Superman Returns" actress said the alcohol helped make filming the wild sex scene more comfortable at first, but has left the cinematic act as a hazy memory, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.

"We were both so drunk," Bosworth said. "Jim and I became such good friends, we decided to have a couple of drinks, loosen up and go for it."

Yet Sturgess has admitted while the alcohol initially eased tension during filming, it ultimately became a hindrance.

"We were on Grey Goose, I think," the actor said. "It was brilliant for about half an hour. As we continued to drink ... it just became sloppy and messy. I couldn't stand up at one point."
