Today Show: Paula Patton 2 Guns Preview
Paula Patton may be singer Robin Thicke‘s leading lady off camera, but in 2 Guns, she 100 percent belongs to Denzel Washington, particularly in their bedroom scene together. The bedroom scene didn’t make things awkward between Denzel and Paula, though.
Paula said that working with Denzel and Mark Wahlberg was a great experience. Plus, this was Paula’s second time working with Denzel after 2006’s Deja Vu, where she learned quite a bit from him. Paula said she was very excited when she heard that Denzel wanted to work with her again on another movie.

It wasn’t in the script for Paula Patton to have her top off in the scene with her and Denzel. It was Paula’s own decision. It’s one of Paula’s biggest pet peeves when she sees women in bedroom scenes wearing their bras. To her, that is just very unrealistic and felt unnatural to her.
Though Paula was a little bit shy since this was her first time going topless in a movie, she doesn’t think nudity is that big of a deal. She loves foreign films, and has noticed that many of those movies feature plenty of nudity that isn’t really treated as a big deal.
Today: Robin Thicke Was Nervous About Nudity In Blurred Lines
The night before the film was scene was filmed, Paula Patton felt that it was only right that she call her husband up to see what he thought about the scene, and Robin was actually okay with it. He told her to go for it, and Paula wasn’t surprised that he was okay with it.
Paula said that Robin is all about the art, and can appreciate nudity when it is done tastefully. He should be able to understand, especially with his “Blurred Lines” video. Robin was actually quite nervous about having so much nudity in the video, and was very conscious about making sure that Paula was okay with it before he went through with it.
