Rosie O’Donnell shares why intimate scene with Cynthia Nixon was ‘hard’

Read our Privacy noticeRosie O’Donnell has reflected on her intimate scenes with Cynthia Nixon on And Just Like That. The former daytime talk show host’s character arc was short-lived but included a post-coital scene with her real-life friend Nixon. Both Nixon and O’Donnell appeared on a recent episode of Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast; the former to preface the latter’s full interview. O’Donnell said she had only done one other sex scene in her career to that point, with the late Julian McMahon on Nip/Tuck, whom she described as “such a gentleman.” When asked by Poehler to answer her own question about filming the And Just Like That scene with O’Donnell, Nixon admitted it was “a little strange.”
