'It's about people trying to control women and shaming women, it doesn't happen to powerful men'
Catherine the Great’s Gina McKee hits back at the salacious rumours that dogged the Russian ruler’s reignNaomi GordonCatherine the Great may have been one of the longest reigning rulers of Russia - infiltrating the empire as a German princess by overthrowing her own husband - but her success and legacy is often undermined by salacious rumours about her sex life.
"It's about people trying to control women and shaming women by making up stupid stories," McKee told."It doesn't happen to powerful men, that's all it's about. So we didn't go with that, there was no point."Bodyguard "It's power, it can also be plain pleasure and then I think what becomes apparent for Bruce potentially there's this man [Grigory Potemkin - played by Jason Clarke] who Catherine is interested in, who could be a part of something bigger and greater. And for a monarch in this situation to have love is quite difficult, but if it can achieved what an incredible thing to facilitate and that's what Bruce is interested in.
"Although they're called sex scenes, that's sort misleading really because what you should be doing still is telling a story, and that for me is the important thing. What do we need to achieve to tell the story in this scene? And I think if you can approach it from that point of view, it always seems to help those scenes.
