Doctor Who actor Christopher Eccleston has revealed that he was once accused of “copping a feel” by an A-lister while filming a sex scene. Christopher described it as an “abuse of power”: “I did a sex scene with an A-list actress – not Nicole Kidman, who was wonderful – and she intimated, in front of the crew, that I was copping a feel. Because she didn’t like me.” Upset with how things turned out, Christopher claimed he was “fortunate that it happened to me before the Harvey Weinstein stuff came to light, so I wasn’t put in the stocks for it.” But I’ve never felt more deceived by a fellow actor as I did that day.”

He added, “I have to say that I would sooner have put my hands in a food blender than copped a feel of that person. It was an abuse of power, what she did. I don’t think that would have happened with an intimacy coordinator on set. I could have been accused of all manner of things… that’s about what passes between actors, with trust and the abuse of it.” Christopher Eccleston will next be seen in the long-awaited season of True Detective. He last appeared in Thor: The Dark World. In his role, the actor said, “I’d never have taken such a small part if it wasn’t for Jodie. But all my scenes are with her, and she’s been a heroine of mine for many years.”
