Gina Gershon admits it takes a lot to disturb her. But there’s one scene in her new, nude movie Killer Joe that nearly pushed her over the edge, and it (sk)involves an unlikely culprit: fried chicken. Late in the film, there’s a scene when psycho stalker Matthew McConaughey forces Gina to fellate a fried chicken leg he dangles in front of his crotch. It just sounds bizarre, but the final scene is actually quite terrifying: “I’ve never been in a movie where I had a hard time watching the scene … I actually turned away, which I’ve never done. And in my movies, I’ve done some crazy stuff, but this is the craziest!” Gina told New York magazine after Killer Joe ‘s Toronto premiere. “It’s one of those things where you’re like, ‘Let’s just go for it and do it’ and in one take, you’re done, you know?…It’s the only project I’ve actually ever been nervous about or scared thinking I can’t go there…Luckily, I like chicken a lot!” In fact, Gina’s saving grace when filming the scene was that the chicken came from her favorite restaurant, Coop’s: “There are many chicken places in New Orleans, and I said it had to be Coop’s. It’s just really good chicken! And luckily, we just did it one take — you know, me and Matthew, we’re professionals — but I had thought, If we’re going to be doing this take after take after take, I better like the chicken. It’s just the right texture, the right seasoning, not too greasy.” So there you go, folks- the fastest way to Gina Gershon ‘s heart is through fried chicken. Just serve it to her on a plate next time, would ya? Members can see all the best scenes from Nudity Hall-of-Famer Gina Gershon right here at MrSkin.com
