Josh Gad: Sex scene in new film was dangerous, not sexy

Former “Book of Mormon” breakout Josh Gad has an “intimate scene” with “Twilight” babe Ashley Greene in their film “Wish I Was Here.” But shooting it was more dangerous than sexy.

“There is an intimate sex scene, where I wear an astronaut suit and Ashley wears a furry outfit,” Gad told us at the movie’s premiere on Monday.

“In real life I would say it’s very possible you might asphyxiate yourself if you do that. I wouldn’t recommend it … It turns out having sex in an astronaut suit is not as easy or as enticing as it sounds.”

Director and star Zach Braff said he was lucky he didn’t have a “swear jar” around his young co-stars, as there was when he starred in 2013’s “Oz the Great and Powerful.”

He said, “I just [would skip] giving [them] singles and [be] like, ‘Here’s a $20. I am going to curse all day. When you’re directing a movie . . . you need to curse.”
