Zoe Saldana, known for her roles in Avengers and Colombiana, is set to appear in the highly-anticipated movie, Avengers Infinity War, later this month.

Throughout her career, she has played strong female characters who go after what they want.

This was evident in the 2011 action-packed thriller, Colombiana, which is airing on TV tonight.

However, during the filming of a raunchy love scene, Saldana was “offended” when her co-star refused to perform an intimate act.

Despite this setback, she took matters into her own hands and got what she wanted anyway.

In an interview, Saldana revealed that while filming a love scene, she suggested to her co-star Michael Vartan that he could slip his tongue into her mouth.

However, Vartan refused, explaining that he had never done so in his 25-year career.

Saldana was offended, as she felt it was because of her that he didn’t want to kiss her.

Undeterred, Saldana continued with the scene and asked Vartan if it was okay for her to slip her tongue in his mouth instead – to which he agreed.

Saldana commented that she did a lot of that during the scene.

It is interesting to note that Vartan, who had just gotten married that year, had previously played lead roles in romantic comedies, including Never Been Kissed with Drew Barrymore and Monster-in-Law with Jennifer Lopez.

He had dated his Alias co-star Jennifer Garner before marrying Lauren Skaar, whom he met outside a Whole Foods store in LA shortly before filming Colombiana.

However, his marriage was short-lived, and Saar filed for divorce in 2004.

Meanwhile, Saldana has gone from strength to strength in Hollywood, with starring roles in the Star Trek and Guardians of the Galaxy franchises.

Colombiana, the movie in which the scene was filmed, will be airing on Channel 4 at 11 pm on Saturday, April 21.
