Kaley Cuoco Made Things Awkward During Her Intimate Scene With Michiel Huisman In Flight Attendant

Fans got to see a completely different side of Kaley Cuoco during Flight Attendant. It was also a major adjustment for the actress, who was put through scenes she wasn’t exactly comfortable with. One of those scenes took place alongside Game of Thrones star, Michiel Huisman. The two stars are from different ends of the spectrum, Kaley is more used to lighthearted scenes, while Huisman has a history of intimacy work.

Cuoco detailed with Indie Wire, “I had never done any sort of sex scene ever, and I had one in ‘Flight Attendant’ with Michiel. He’d been in ‘Game of Thrones,’ so he’d done all these scenes, and I just had no idea.”

“When they called ‘cut,’ I’d be hovering over him like I was on a toilet. I’m like, ‘I’m not touching anything, I’m not looking at anything.’ I didn’t know what to do. He was like, ‘You’re acting so weird, you’re making this way weirder than it needs to be.’ But I was totally out of my element.”

It should be noted that co-showrunner Natalie Chaidez had a different take. She broke down Cuoco’s intimate scene in episode 4 alongside Digital Spy, and praised the actress for her poise.

“It was also a closed set. We were respectful,” Chaidez added. “There was some partial nudity and stuff, so it was very contained as far as who was there. It was extremely steamy.

“And when we were watching, me and the other producer were like, ‘Phew! OK.’ But it was all done with a lot of care, and as much respect as we can give the performers.”
