Christina Ricci and
Johnny Depp found it strange and amusing to do sex scenes with each other because they first met when she was 9 and he was 26, when he visited the set of her debut film
Mermaids (1990) to see his then-girlfriend
Winona Ryder. She said during an interview with ABC News, "I've known Johnny so long, he's protective of me as an older brother and it's weird to think of having sex with him. So we know enough about each other to laugh at it. He said it was 'like we were rooting around together like pigs.' Anyway, I don't think you ever really deal with sexuality on-screen. There are, like, 50 people watching you, and you're just, like, 'Uh, I hope my ass looks good.' There's no deep feeling there. It's just embarrassing."
