Eva Mendes talks Joaquin Phoenix sex scenes

Eva Mendes had to have an alcoholic drink before filming sex scenes with
Joaquin Phoenix.
The actress was so nervous about the steamy scenes in 'We Own the Night' she
calmed her nerves with vodka.
She revealed: "I wasn't comfortable at all, but they were very sweet and
they poured me a vodka and orange juice and then I was fine.
"I'm very professional and I don't usually drink on the job but that morning
I had to have something. It was my first sex scene and thank God James Gray
was directing it. He did it at the end of the shoot, so it was the last day
and I was really, really comfortable with James and Joaquin."
