Diego Luna was "nervous" about "getting too excited" when he filmed his first sex scene.
The ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ actor says he was just 12-years-old when he had to film an intimate scene on a television show and was very scared about having "40 people" watching him.
Speaking on ‘Conan Without Borders: Made in Mexico’, he said: "I arrived, I was very nervous and I was just like, ‘I hope she likes it and after the scene, because I know it’s not going to be sex, but then something can start from there.’
"And then I get there and I see 40 people looking at me with the camera – s**t. And all I could just think of was, ‘Oh, I don’t want to have a hard [on], please, please, please. I don’t want to get too excited.’ And obviously it didn’t happen. I was 12, I couldn’t control it. She was very nice; she hid it."
It comes after Diego recently revealed he nearly missed a casting call for the role of Captain Cassian Andor because he thought it was just a "drunken cousin" calling him.
He said: "I saw this British number calling me at 2 a.m., and I have family in England, so I thought it was, like, a drunken cousin from a bar or something.
"I ran over and saw that it was [director] Gareth Edwards wanting to give me some news! I just jumped around like crazy – it was quite a special day. [Edwards] said, ‘Okay, welcome to Star Wars.’"
However, he was forced to keep it a secret for a "long time".
He added: "I didn’t trust my children to keep the secret because, well, they’re kids! I told them we were spending the summer in England, but I couldn’t tell them why for quite a long time."
