Mary Steenburgen indicated on “Watch What Happens Live” that she was once genuinely turned on by an actor during a love scene. (Watch the video below.)
Steenburgen spilled the tea in a segment posted online Friday, following a visit to the show last month. When host Andy Cohen asked if she was brave enough to say more, she answered, “Johnny Depp.”
The two had a steamy encounter in 1993′s “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.”
“Oh, damn,” reacted Jane Fonda, one of Steenburgen’s co-stars in the new film “Book Club: The Next Chapter.”
“Yeah!” Steenburgen replied.
Fast-forward to 3:50:
Steenburgen and Depp’s onscreen passion unfolded decades before his real-life domestic drama with ex-wife Amber Heard earned uncomfortable headlines around the world. But the scene was memorable:
Fonda, meanwhile, told Cohen that she got truly hot and bothered by her “Rollover” co-star Kris Kristofferson, drawing approval from the host.
The trailer for the 1981 film has snippets of their intimacy:
Another “Next Chapter” actor, Candice Bergen, told Cohen that she had not gotten turned on with the cameras rolling.
The host extracted the dish during a game of “Agree or Disagree,” with the guests having to respond to various prompts.
He got the ball rolling by saying: “I have never been genuinely turned on while filming a love scene. ... Agree or disagree?”
When Steenburgen and Fonda held up signs that said “disagree,” Cohen pursued the matter.
