“I don’t do s*x scenes”: Marvel Star Jameela Jamil Rejected Blockbuster Netflix Series, Wants ‘Boundaries’
Jameela Jamil, a popular British actress known for her comedic roles, has recently revealed that she turned down an offer to be in a hit Netflix series due to the requirement of shooting an intimate scene.
Jamil, who gained recognition for her role as Titania in Marvel Studios’ She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, has been receiving more attention from both fans and industry professionals alike.
However, the star has set boundaries for herself when it comes to the type of roles she is willing to take on.
During her appearance on the Podcrushed podcast, Jamil shared that she was contacted by Netflix to join the cast of You, a psychological thriller series.
Specifically, she was approached to become part of the recently released 4th season of the show, but had to decline the offer due to the explicit scene required for her character.

Speaking with Penn Badgley, the host and lead actor of the show, Jamil stated “I don’t do s** scenes.
In fact, I was supposed to audition for the most recent season of your show, My character was supposed to be quite s**y, and I pulled out of the audition, because I am so shy about anything s**y that I can’t.”
While this may have been a missed opportunity for Jamil, it is not uncommon for actors and actresses to decline roles due to personal discomfort or moral objections.
The entertainment industry is filled with actors who maintain certain boundaries for themselves, whether it be on the types of roles they take or what they are willing to do for a particular project.
Netflix’s You has been a hit with viewers due to its gripping narrative and dark plot.
The show revolves around Joe Goldberg, a man who kills women while maintaining a delusional belief that he is doing something moral.
The series has been praised for its psychological depth, and has kept viewers hooked through its multiple seasons.
Overall, Jamil’s decision to decline the offer for You highlights the importance of boundaries in the entertainment industry.
While it may be tempting to take on certain roles for the sake of career advancement, actors and actresses should always prioritize their own comfort and values when making decisions about their careers.
