Throughout her stint as Penny inThe Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco engaged in a plethora of intimate scenes with her onscreen partner Leonard, played by Johnny Galecki. Moreover, the s-x scenes between the two spiked up after Galecki and Cuoco, who initially dated for two years, broke up, which led to them believing that showrunner Chuck Lorre was doing it just for fun.
However, no amount of s-x scenes in the acclaimed sitcom was enough to prepare the actress for her experience in the HBO thriller seriesThe Flight Attendant.
Kaley Cuoco Had a Hard Time Dealing with the Flight Attendant’s S-X Scenes
Compared toThe Big Bang Theory, the s-x scene in the HBO drama was more grounded in reality. As a result,Kaley Cuoco‘s past experience of filming intimate scenes inTBBTdidn’t come in handy duringThe Flight Attendant. Considering it was Cuoco’s first time filming a true s-x scene, the actress recalled that she couldn’t seem to get in the mood for it.
I had scenes like that on Big Bang, but this was like a true sex scene. I told Michiel, ‘I’ve never done this before. Have you done it before?’ He goes, ‘Yeah, like 30, 40 times. And I was like, ‘What?’
Fortunately, her costar Michiel Huisman, who had vast experience on the subject, helped her get through the intimate scenes, as Cuoco recalled he awkwardly taught her how to have fake s-x.
Chuck Lorre Denied the Speculations
Despite having problems with engaging in grounded intimate scenes in the HBO thriller, the8 Simple Rulesstar was no stranger to intimate scenes, thanks to her tenure inTBBT.

But while Cuoco and her on-screen partner Galecki suggestedChuck Lorremight’ve elevated the number of s-x scenes between them after their split-up to tease the duo, the showrunnerdeniedthese speculations.
No. Not at all. Making a good show has no room for f***ing with anybody. There’s no, ‘Let’s mess with Kaley and Johnny’. The goal was to make a great show and make every minute of every episode count. And that was the only goal. We don’t have that kind of freedom to risk a TV series that you put your heart and soul into to mess with somebody’s head. No.
However,Lorredid find their suggestion charming, as he expressed that seeing Penny and Leonard getting through difficulties and sustaining their relationship was one of the main appeals of the show.
