Olivia Colman has ruled out future intimate scenes after admitting they have been the scariest part of her acting career.

The English actor candidly told Good Hang with Amy Poehler she is choosing not to act in “anything where I have to show skin” from now on.

Colman said she feels like she is being unfaithful to her husband Ed Sinclair when acting in intimate scenes, the Mirror reports.

“Even when they go, ‘You can wear your jeans and a cushion between you’. I don’t want to do that with someone I don’t know.”

As Poehler expressed her admiration for actors who are comfortable with racier roles, the Oscar winner said “thank god for intimacy co-ordinators”.

Colman shares three children with Sinclair, who she has been married to since 2001.

Later in the podcast, she gushed about the screenwriter and former actor, who she described as her “best friend”.

“It is our 25th wedding anniversary next year. We aren’t big fighters, which apparently isn’t very healthy.”

Colman confessed she has gotten a tattoo for her beau, joking “it’s a bit like he pissed on me”.
