Sarah Shahi is spilling the details on her spicy sex scene with “Sopranos” star James Gandolfini.
On the “Bossticks” podcast, Shahi said that her kiss with Gandolfini was “one of the best” kisses she’s ever had.
“We had this scene where he was so hot and … I remember thinking to myself, ‘How am I going to get turned on by this 47-year-old large, balding man?’ There’s nothing … how is this going to work for me? Oh boy, did it work for me!” the actress began.
Shahi, who appeared briefly on “The Sopranos,” went on to detail the scene where the actors took mushrooms before she sat on his lap and kissed him.

“I don’t know if you remember the scene. And he’s a very method actor. So, he wanted props. I think they actually had dehydrated mushrooms, and he wanted them to put pepper on them or a lot of spice or just something, so when you put it in your mouth, there’s some kind of a reaction,” Shahi said.

She continued, “There’s a scene where I’m sitting on his lap, and we’re taking these mushrooms, and then we have to kiss and when they called ‘cut,’ we were still kissing … we were still kissing.”
Shahi said they had to film the scene three or four times and every time production yelled “cut!,” the pair were “still f–—g making out.”
