Paramount/courtesy Everett Collection Jenna Fischerjust wasn't feeling it when shooting a sexy scene withWill Ferrellin the 2007 ice-skating comedyBlades of Glory— or rather, she couldn't feel much of anything at all. Onthe latest episode of theFly on the Wallpodcast, the longtime star ofThe Officelooked back on filming her seduction scene with Ferrell and recalled being covered in so many layers of costuming and makeup that her tactile senses felt impaired. "Will was so polite when we shot that scene, because he has to grab my boobs several times," Fischer told podcasts hostsDana CarveyandDavid Spade. "But what was crazy about it was I probably had more clothes on in that scene, where I look like I'm just in a nightie, than I normally wear. Because they put you in Spanx and then a corset and then a thing, and they painted my body with makeup. I mean, I felt so covered." The layers were a lot to contend with. "It's like I was wearing body armor," said Fischer, who noted that the movie was filmed before intimacy coordinators were commonplace on Hollywood productions. "So I was kinda like, 'Maybe wink when you grab 'em, because I can feel nothing.'" Directed by Will Speck and Josh Gordon,Blades of Glorystars Ferrell andJon Hederas rival figure skaters Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy, who are banned from the sport and forced to team up to exploit a loophole and get back on the ice. Fischer portrays Katie Van Waldenberg, Jimmy's love interest, who is coerced by her siblings — played byAmy PoehlerandWill Arnett— into trying to seduce Chazz in an effort to break the duo up.
