Did You Know?
| Trivia | In reference to her sex scene with Kristyan Ferrer, who turned 17 during filming, Adriana Paz said, "I tried to have a respectful relationship between the two of us, and there was. As always, Aaron was very careful. In the shooting of those scenes, there was only Aaron, the photographers, and the wardrobe guys, and as soon as we finished shooting, they ran to cover us. The actor and I would talk before each scene, because we were very nervous, but since I was the oldest one, I had to keep my sanity and reassure him. I felt an obligation to take care of him. I had done nudity and he hadn't, so I played the role of a big sister helping him, who was a very young boy." See more » |
