Ryan Gosling Says Michelle Williams Sex Scene Felt 'Real'

Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams have been causing tongues to wag since they began filming Blue Valentine together last year.

The movie was reclassified from a NC-17 to an R rating because of a scene where Ryan performs oral sex on Michelle.

Of the scene, Ryan told The Guardian: "The sex felt real - it wasn't sexy or 'a sex scene', and that's why we got into trouble.

"You shouldn't be penalized for doing a good job."

Michelle has also defended the raunchy scene, telling Reuters: "I thought, 'I've never seen that before in a movie and I'm proud to be the first. Good on us for making that happen.'

"As the woman in the situation that was in question, I found absolutely nothing scandalous, tawdry or disgusting about it."

Despite the pair denying an off screen romance, Ryan admitted: "Most movies when you're acting you're trying to block out the lights and the trailers. Here, you had to remind yourself you were making a film.

"Michelle and I found it hard to take off our wedding bands when it was over. We'd built this castle and then had to tear it down."

We're keeping our fingers crossed!
