Sarah Michelle Gellar was too tired to perform steamy scenes

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar was too tired to perform a sex scene in her 2006 movie Southland Tales, because she had just feasted on turkey.

She plays a porn star in the movie, but was disappointed when she couldn’t partake in an intimate scene with full gusto, because all she wanted to do was sleep. The 30-year-old had binged on a huge Thanksgiving meal of turkey - which contains chemicals that make you lethargic - just before she was due to film the scene.

She tells Maxim magazine, “For a porn star, I didn’t get much action. I filmed a love scene on Thanksgiving, and I had eaten all this turkey and mashed potatoes and was like, ‘I seriously have to film a sex scene right now?’ “I was so tired from all the tryptophan (an amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy) that I just wanted to sleep.”

    um, DUH. Guess she didn’t get the memo…

    “Most likely, it’s the whole traditional Thanksgiving meal that can produce that after-dinner lethargy. The meal is quite often heavy and high in carbohydrates — from mashed potatoes, to bread, stuffing and pie — and your body is working hard to digest that food. After all, the average Thanksgiving meal contains 3,000 calories and 229 grams of fat [source: Meeks]. Also, if you drink alcohol with your dinner, you’ll likely feel its sedative effect, too.”

    What Amber said is right. It’s not tryptophan - that’s a myth - but eating/drinking too much can wipe you out. It’s the intake, not the turkey.

    She’s gorgeous & I love her anyway.

    Hey, no problem, I’d quite happily do her while she slept…
