Labeouf's 'Real Sex Scenes' in von Trier's New Film 'Nymphomaniac'?

Shia LaBeouf has described the sex scenes as the "real deal" in Lars von Trier's new "Nymphomaniac" film, in comments that will surprise many of his fans and further shows how Hollywood films are influencing a more promiscuous society.

It is unsure whether the Hollywood actor's words about the "real" sex scenes are to be taken at face value, but the star will feature in the Danish director's new film, which will be an erotic two-part drama. Production begins next month and LaBeouf has now come out to speak about the new drama. He has said that a disclaimer was included in the contract for the role basically saying "we're doing it for real."

He has said, "(The movie] is what you think it is. It is Lars von Trier, making a movie about what he's making. For instance, there's a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says we're doing it for real. Everything that is illegal, we'll shoot in blurred images. Other than that, everything is happening," according to MTV.
