London, August 29: Former X-Files star Gillian Anderson has revealed that filming the sex scenes in her latest movie were not a piece of cake at all.

The 39-year-old recently divulged that the love scenes in 'Straightheads', a thriller filmed in the Midlands, almost crumbled.

Anderson had to make love with screen lover Danny Dyer in a car parked in Shropshire, but the actress said that the extreme cold kept them from doing things according to the plan.

"The scene was filmed in the dead of night, with all the crew standing around with fires to keep us warm. The sides of my dress needed to be stuck to me, or it would have fallen wrong. I had to have two tapes on my side. But because it was so cold, the tape wasn't working, and my dress kept peeling off too soon," the Daily Express quoted her, as saying.

"My lover's job was to cover the tape while we were in the middle of pretending to have sex. It wasn't easy. That is my memory of sex in Shropshire," she added.
