Svenja Jung: 'It always takes courage to bare all on camera' - Svenja Jung Takes on Challenging Role in ARD's 'Naked'
Actress Svenja Jung is taking on a challenging role in the new ARD series 'naked', which explores the complexities of sex addiction and co-dependency. The series, which premieres on October 2, features 35 intimate scenes, with Jung appearing in 12 of them. Jung, known for her role in 'Ein Mann seiner Klasse', has a relaxed attitude towards nude scenes due to her background as a professional dancer.
Jung has set boundaries on set in the past when she felt uncomfortable with a scene. However, she finds that the sex scenes in 'naked' have a dramatic purpose and arise from the characters' relationships. She advises young actresses to prioritize the quality of the script and insist on an intimacy coordinator on set. Intimacy coordinators are now used to protect actors during sex scenes, ensuring comfort and safety.
The series, created by Silke Eggert, explores themes of intimacy, toxic relationships, and the complexities of love and dependency. Eggert has incorporated her personal experiences with co-dependency and observing sex addiction in her environment into the narrative. Jung's character in 'naked' is a departure from her previous role in 'Ein Mann seiner Klasse', which had no erotic elements.
The ARD/WDR series 'naked' is set to explore sensitive and complex themes, with Jung's performance at the forefront. The series is available in the ARD media library from October 2, with six episodes. Jung's experience and professionalism, coupled with the use of intimacy coordinators, ensure a safe and respectful environment for all actors involved.
