Kaley Cuoco has made a firm decision about her sex scenes in any role she plays from now on.

Probably best known for playing Penny in the Big Bang Theory, the 38-year-old has also starred in the likes of The Flight Attendant and 8 Simple Rules.

And while she starred as Penny, Cuoco ended up having to film intimate scenes with her ex following her split from co-star Johnny Galecki.

It’s fair to say that was pretty awkward for both actors but it seems sex scenes are totally a thing of the past now for Cuoco as she’s packed in doing them altogether.

One of the star’s most recent TV roles was playing Ava Bartlett in Based on a True Story on which she also served as an executive producer.

And the true-crime-obsessed real estate agent had some pretty raunchy scenes (although mostly sexual fantasies), which Cuoco got out of.

The actor opted for a body double to perform Ava’s intimate scenes. They even had a prosthetic belly fitted because the star was pregnant at the time of filming and this was written into the show.

Speaking to USA TODAY she said: “I don’t roll that way. I need someone else to do that stuff.

“I’m past that. I’m not doing that anymore. Also, who wants to see that? Not my thing. I’d rather let someone else do it, and that’s what’s movie magic [is for]. We don’t have to do those things anymore. We can have someone else do it, and we can fake our way through.”

Cuoco went on to joke that her co-star Chris Messina also used a double, although not quite for the same thing.

He played Ava’s husband, Nathan, a former pro-tennis player who now works as a coach.

“You think that Chris Messina played tennis? Please! He was terrible! That’s his double,” she said.

Having the body double also helped Cuoco out for the non-sexy stuff a she had to be ‘on her feet a lot’.

“It was a lot,” the star said.

“And by the end, I was nine months pregnant. So the fight scene at the end near the grave − the fantasy − a lot of that was done by my double because it was like I was literally about to give birth, like any second.”

She welcomed her first child with Tom Pelphrey in March 2023, a daughter named Matilda.
