Claire Danes Worries About Sex Scene with Steve Martin

Claire Danes admitted it was a struggle for her to act in a raunchy sex scene with older co-star Steve Martin, in their new film "Shopgirl".
Danes confessed she was very nervous but got relaxed when she realized her embarrassment suited the role perfectly.

"The age difference seemed to be a little awkward, but the movie is about that," Claire told New York Daily News.

The film follows Mirabelle (Clare Danes), an aspiring young artist who works at the unpopular glove station in Saks Fifth Avenue.
The story explores the two relationships Mirabelle starts, mostly focusing on the one involving Ray Porter (Martin), a much older, richer and emotionally unavailable man than her other admirer, Jeremy (Jason Schwartzman), who's simply romantically inept.

"Shopgirl" has been originally a novella written by Steve Martin, and appears to be a great accomplishment for the 60-year-old actor.
It turned up in a film that is more than a "romantic comedy", revealing strikingly insightful life truths.
