Julianna Margulies Calls Her TV Oral Sex Scene 'Brave'

Originally posted 03/28/2012 01:35PM

"The first thing that went through my mind is, 'Oh dear God, how are we going to film this?' Then, 'Oh God, my father's going to watch the show,' " the actress, 45, tells More in its April cover story.

Julianna Margulies's husband, a New York lawyer, could be intimidated by the sheer number of Hollywood men his wife has kissed over the years. But, apparently, he's the good husband – and is cool with it.

"At dinner recently, a friend of mine went through the list of leading men I've kissed: Chris Noth, George Clooney, Pierce Brosnan, Aidan Quinn, Matthew McConaughey ... I realized I've been very lucky," Margulies, 44, tells Britain's You magazine.

"But my husband is very secure in himself. He knows he has nothing to worry about. To me, none of them compare to him – he's really rather yummy."

Don't call Julianna Margulies a good wife.

The actress, who plays long-suffering political wife Alicia Florrick on CBS's The Good Wife, says she finds depicting the staid character a stretch.

"It's a challenge because she's so far from who I am," Margulies, 44, says in the January issue of Harper's Bazaar, on sale Dec. 21. "I'm not saying I'm a crazy sexual person, but she's such a repressed Wasp."

Infidelity is a big part of Julianna Margulies's fictional world as the betrayed spouse on The Good Wife. Thankfully, there's been no such high drama in almost three years of real-life marriage to lawyer Keith Lieberthal.

"I think that when you have gotten things out of your system, you are less tempted by distractions," the actress, 44, tells Redbook in its September issue, on newsstands Aug. 24. "My only temptations now are chocolate and martinis."

Still, through her Emmy-nominated role on the CBS drama, Margulies has become a de facto expert on infidelity – and has had to imagine what it would be like to be cheated on, or even to be unfaithful herself.

Romance seemed to be in the air Saturday at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles as stars and their spouses showed their sweet affection for each other.

• Kevin Bacon was a bundle of nerves before his name was announced as best male actor in a TV movie or miniseries for his role in HBO's Taking Chance, but wife Kyra Sedgwick kept him looking his best. How? "I had to blot his face a little," she admitted to PEOPLE at the afterparty.

Mad Men star Christina Hendricks's new husband, Geoffrey Arend, was clearly his wife's biggest fan. "I feel like the luckiest man ever. She's such a cutie pie," he raved. "When Michael C. Hall said 'I want to thank my wife for wearing that dress,' I feel that way every single awards show." Hendricks agreed, telling PEOPLE, "He's been feeling me all night."
