• Victoria Justice told a radio show that she was “very nervous” while filming her first sex scene.

• Justice said she filmed the scene on the first day on set for her upcoming film “Depravity.”

• The former Nickelodeon star said the experience was “uncomfortable,” but the director made her feel better.

Former Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice said she felt “uncomfortable” while filming the first sex scene of her career for her upcoming movie “Depravity.”

Justice, who started acting as a child and had her first kiss on a Disney show, said on Tuesday’s episode of SiriusXM’s “Hits 1 LA with Tony Fly and Symon” that she performed the “Depravity” sex scene on her first day on set had filmed before she met her scene partner.

“I was like, ‘Really guys? We’re going to plan this for the first day? Cool. Thanks for that,'” Justice said. “It’s awkward. I was actually really nervous about it and totally anxious about the whole situation, and I was like, ‘Did I make the wrong choice? I don’t know if I should do this.'”

Justice added: “I think sometimes people think that when filming sex scenes or something like an intimate scene, it’s very sexy… it’s really not. It’s awkward, honestly, and there are a bunch random guys in the room breathing and looking at you.”

In recent years, major productions have begun creating safe environments for actors filming nude or other intimate scenes. It is not clear whether “Depravity, which was not backed by a major film studio until after filming was completed, hired intimacy coordinators.

Justice said the film’s director, Paul Tamasy, helped her feel comfortable in the vulnerable moment.

“I had a lot of confidence in our director, Paul Tamasy, and he made me feel very comfortable with it and said, ‘Listen, I’ll show you in advance. If you don’t like it, we’ll changing it, whatever,” she said.

Justice said her costar, who she did not name, also enhanced the experience.

“We barely knew each other because it was the first day of shooting, but he was a super nice guy and made me feel very safe and was very polite and respectful, so it went well and it’s very tasteful,” Justice said.

“Depravity,” which does not yet have a release date, follows three neighbors in an apartment building who suspect they live next door to a serial killer.
