Martin Freeman prefers being completely nude in sex scenes rather than using a pouch to cover up with.
The actor, who stars in ‘The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies’ and ‘Sherlock’, admits he feels inhibited when wearing a pouch while filming, and so he prefers to be completely exposed.
The 43-year-old star explained: "It’s not an easy thing to get naked in front of 80 people eating bagels or whatever. I’ve done a few naked things in my time and after a while I stopped using what they give you.
"They give you a discrete pouch, a sock sort of thing. It’s like a medieval purse.
"I think if the woman is not offended, I would rather just be naked."
Martin also joked about the relationship between his ‘Sherlock’ character Dr. John Watson and the detective, played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
He told ‘The Jonathan Ross Show’: "Not only are John and Sherlock not a couple but that me and Ben are not a couple.
"So there are people that are actually absolutely determined that [my wife] Amanda is my beard… Me and [Benedict Cumberbatch] are friendly but we’re not married!"
