Ellen Pompeo recalled filming an “uncomfortable” intimate scene with T.R. Knight during the second season of Grey’s Anatomy.
Speaking to Alex Cooper on his podcast Call Her Daddy, the 55-year-old actress revealed that she wasn’t pleased when she had to film a sex scene with Knight.
“Can I tell you an inside story about that? T.R. and I are such good friends, and we had to do a love scene, and we were both crying,” said Pompeo.
“We cried. And the scene was so uncomfortable and awkward, and he didn’t want to do that. I didn’t want to do it, and when we filmed it, it was so bad,” she added.
The American actress continued that they had to redo the moment a second time because ABC believed there “was too much thrusting” for it to air.
“In your worst nightmare, you had to do it one time — we had to reshoot that s–t, we had to reshoot it and do it twice,” noted Pompeo.
“I’ve never watched that scene. I’ve never seen it. I don’t know how it was shot or covered or how it was edited but I’m full-on in tears the whole entire scene and those are real tears. There was a lot of stuff that I didn’t want to do at the time,” admitted the actress.
For those unversed, Grey’s Anatomyseason 2 ran from September 2005 to May 2006.
