He was also the breastfeeding consultant in the Delivery Part 2!

That's one of those things that was done as an accommodation to Jenna as to not have a random manhandle her breasts

Don’t call it an accommodation for her specifically. You could just as easily say it was to save money. If any other actor were hired, there would need to be an intimacy coordinator, and probably multiple meetings and extra time spent to make sure everyone was comfortable during filming.

They should have doubled down and had James Gunn do it

They paid $50k to play Ants Marching… this would be a drop in the bucket

It's not just about the money. A huge amount of liability comes with having one actor grope another.

u/ChrisThomasAP 5d ago

a professional on movie and TV sets who manages sex scenes or other similarly vulnerable on-set situations to make sure everyone stays and feels comfortable, safe, and able to deliver their best and most realistic performance within the intimate setting, scene, and characters

it's to protect the actors, the entire film crew and production company, and acting quality all at once
