<p>Former &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/television" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Doctor Who</a>&#8221; actor Christopher Eccleston revealed in a recent interview that he was once falsely accused of &#8220;copping a feel&#8221; while filming a sex scene with someone he described only as an &#8220;A-list actress&#8221; who was &#8220;not Nicole Kidman.&#8221;</p>
<p>Eccleston, who played the 9th Doctor in the popular British sci-fi series, gave no other hints as to who the actress might be, telling <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/features/christopher-eccleston-true-detective-sex-scene-jodie-foster-b2480975.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Independent</a> only that he was relieved it had happened prior to the #MeToo movement and the fallout surrounding disgraced film executive Harvey Weinstein.</p>
<p>&#8220;I did a sex scene with an A-list actress – not Nicole Kidman, who was brilliant – and she implied, in front of the crew, that I was copping a feel. Because she didn’t like me,&#8221; he said, explaining that he knew he was &#8220;fortunate that happened to me before the Harvey Weinstein stuff came to light, so I wasn’t put in the stocks for it. But I’ve never felt more betrayed by a fellow actor than I did that day.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I have to say to you that I would sooner have put my hands in a food blender than copped a feel of that person,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It was an abuse of power, what she did. I don’t think that would have happened with an intimacy coordinator on set. I could have been accused of all manner of things.&#8221;</p>
<p>Part of the reason Eccleston felt so betrayed was that he had always felt it was part of his responsibility — both as an actor and as a man — to make sure that the actress was comfortable in any sex scene they did together.</p>
<p>&#8220;As a bloke, as a young man, you walk onto the set and see the majority of people in the crew are male,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Then there’s a beautiful woman who’s naked. So unless you are a complete a***hole, you just continually ask her: are you comfortable? Is there anything I can do?&#8221;</p>

<p>That experience coupled with the #MeToo movement, he said, has made him appreciate the addition of an intimacy coordinator on set. &#8220;I’m here to protect you too, Chris,&#8221; he quoted one intimacy coordinator as saying.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’d not thought about that. You don’t think that maybe somebody’s copping a look at you. You just don’t, not from a working-class northern British background,&#8221; the actor continued. &#8220;I was born in ’64, when men were really not the objects of desire as far as I knew.&#8221;</p>
<p>Eccleston&#8217;s interview comes along with the recent season four premiere of HBO&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2356777/episodes/?season=4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">True Detective: Night Country</a>&#8221; — in which Eccleston stars alongside Oscar-winning actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jodie-foster-roasts-gen-z-over-really-annoying-workplace-habits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jodie Foster</a>.</p>
