In His New Film "The Take," Actor John Leguizamo Says Of His Sex Scene With Rosie Perez: "It was Hard... For Both Of Us"

John Leguizamo may be one of the most real guys who we've had the opportunity to have on the show. And, is it any wonder that this Columbian kid from Queens made it to the top, he slickly combines personality & talent, and from what I saw at Gleason's Gym some years ago when Hector Roca was training him for his boxing movie, Undefeated, this is one comedian who takes the acting biz wayyyy seriously.
In his new movie, The Take, he stars with Rosie Perez as a man who incurs a brain injury through a gunshot wound to his head & has to deal with the changes. The other day, Rosie stopped by and told us that the low budget movie filmed on llocation in East LA had to endure gang threats & a gunfight - this morning, John corroborated that it was indeed pretty bad, and he added that at one point, Rosie had to do her own hair & make-up. He also commented on His & Rosie's extremely graphic sex scene in which he said, "we both got naked and said..." We'll let you watch the video for the rest...
