Former Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice, 31, opens up about filming her first sex scene - branding it as 'uncomfortable' to have 'random dudes watching' in the room

Former Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice has opened up about what it was like to film her first sex scene - admitting it was 'uncomfortable' to have 'random dudes watching.'

The actress, 31, who was propelled into the spotlight as a teen when she starred in Nickelodeon's Victorious, had to get intimate with a fellow actor for the first time on screen for her upcoming movie Depravity.

Now, the Zoey 101 alum spoke out about what it was like to have to shoot the racy part of the flick, and she explained that it happened on their first day on set - before she had a chance to get to know her costar - which left her 'very nervous' and 'totally anxious about the entire situation.' 

She explained on a recent appearance on SiriusXM's Hits 1 LA with Tony Fly and Symon that upon learning she'd have to film the sex scene on day one, she wondered if she had 'made the wrong choice' by agreeing to star in the film.

'I'm like, "Really, guys? We're gonna schedule this for the first day? Cool. Thanks for that,"' she recalled.

'It is uncomfortable. I was actually very nervous about it and totally anxious about the entire situation.

'I was like, "Did I make the wrong choice? I don't know if I should do this."'

She said that while filming the part was 'uncomfortable,' director Paul Tamasy really helped ease her stress.

'I think sometimes people think filming sex scenes or anything like an intimate scene that it's like really sexy… it's really not,' she continued. 

'It's uncomfortable, honestly, and there's a bunch of random dudes in the room breathing and watching you.

'I had a lot of faith and trust in our director, Paul Tamasy, and he made me feel very comfortable about it.

'He was like, "Listen, I'll show it to you beforehand. If you don't like it, we'll change it, whatever."'

'We like barely knew each other because it was the first day of filming, but he was a super nice guy and made me feel very safe and was very polite and respectful,' she dished.

'It went well and it's very tasteful.'

In addition to Victoria, Depravity also stars Sasha Luss, Dermot Mulroney, Dylan McDermott, Taylor John Smith, Alex Roe, Adam Lazarre-White, and Devon Ross.

It follows 'three residents of an old apartment building who suspect their creepy neighbor is a serial killer and after acting on their suspicions, stumble upon an art heist worth millions,' per Deadline.

While this was Victoria's first official sex scene on camera, she previously got hot and heavy with her costar Daniel Lissing in one part of the 2015 series Eye Candy

She previously told Hollywood Life about it, 'Once you’re in the zone and you're filming the scene, it kinda just happened naturally, and you just kind of lose yourself'

She also praised Daniel to People, calling him a 'gentleman' who was 'super nice about everything'

'He's a great actor. He's also a gentleman and was super nice about everything,' she shared.

'It was a closed set because there's some skin being shown – but not too much. It was fun to do and the way it's shot is really beautiful and really tastefully done.'
