It was my first scene. My first day. We could have started with me drinking a beer, something a little less than having Barbies touching each other. But they started with that.
Meaning of the quote
This quote is from Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen. She was talking about her first day of filming a scene for a movie or TV show. Bundchen says the scene could have started with something simple, like her character drinking a beer. Instead, the scene began with her character doing something more adult and uncomfortable, like having doll characters touch each other. Bundchen felt the producers should have eased into the more mature content, rather than jumping right into it on her first day.
