“A good actor will always get work. In my entire career, I don’t think I have lost out on anything that has had a kissing scene or an intimate scene. If you still want to go ahead with me, if you think as an actor, I would bring something new to the table, I will do the film. But lets find a way around that, lets work it out. Or you are very free to go to someone else who is comfortable doing that. So the option is always open and nobody is left out.”
