Anna Friel, who plays the wife of porn mogul Paul Raymond in The Look of Love, was researching the role and wanted to tell her father about it. “I sent an email to my dad with some pictures of Jean Raymond. He called me afterwards and said, ‘I think you’re going a bit far on this one.’ I wondered what he meant and then I realized I’d sent him an email attachment of an actual porn shoot that Jean did — I mean, everything. I was mortified,” she told Easy Living magazine.
Is there any way to recover from that? I think you just have to deny, even in the face of irrefutable evidence. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Dad. There were no attachments on that e-mail. No, don’t describe them. I have actually been blind for the last three years, I forgot to tell you that when I was home for Christmas. Good-bye, I’ve got to be getting back to the convent now, for my daily lesson in how babies grow in cabbage patches and sex is the number that comes before seven.”
