'So mortified': Wilson star Judy Greer talks humiliating sex scene rehearsal with Woody Harrelson

Even sex scenes between glamorous Hollywood stars can be awkward - just ask Judy Greer.

The 41-year-old actress on Wednesday dished to People magazine about such an encounter on the set of her movie Wilson, with Tinseltown mainstay Woody Harrelson.

The Detroit native told the publication she mentally prepared herself for an enthusiastic performance prior to rehearing a sex scene for the film - the problem was, her performance came out too enthusiastic.

Greer said she told herself, 'I’m not gonna be shy, I’m not gonna be ashamed, I’m gonna really do my full performance here for this rehearsal so everyone knows what I’m gonna do.'

But apparently things got a bit too hot when Greer rehearsed the scene, as Craig Johnson, the director, delicately explained to the actress that her character Shelly wasn't supposed to be that over-the-top.

The 5ft10 beauty said Johnson told her, 'I don’t think she’s that into it,' at which point she realized she might have overacted a tad.

'And I was like, "Oh my gosh, never again. I’m so embarrassed. I’m so mortified,"' Greer recalled.

The actress, who's also been in films such as Lemon, All We Had and Jurassic World, said it was too awkward to talk to Harrelson about the rehearsal. She added, 'I was trying to pretend like it never happened.'

The movie, which also starred Laura Dern and Cheryl Hines, hit theaters earlier this spring, taking in $653,951, according to BoxOfficeMojo.
