Al Pacino, best known for playing romantic roles in movies, has revealed he does not enjoy doing "graphic lovemaking scenes."

In his memoir, Sonny Boy, the 84-year-old actor recalled the experience of shooting a bold scene with actress Ellen Barkin for the film Sea of Love.

"I'm not usually one to perform graphic lovemaking scenes," wrote Pacino. "And I don't think many other actors like to do them either. It can become sort of borderline po*n."

The actor explained that the Sea of Love "became renowned for a long, slow s** scene where Ellen Barkin holds me against a wall and gives me a bit of a pat-down before our two characters start going at it."

Pacino shared that "the scene was brilliantly choreographed" by director Harold Beckerm, calling the shooting experience “less-than-brilliant."

"I realize it is futile for me to complain that we're no longer in an age of movies like A Place in the Sun, where Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift could have an entire audience swooning in their seats without ever showing their nak*d bodies,” he added.

For those unversed, Al Pacino and Ellen Barkin starrer film Sea of Love was released in 1989.
