We're shooting and me and Natasha McElhone are outside the room and we're supposed to walk in on David and Evan with this lady. Evan has his head between her legs and we then walk in.

We see all of the 'humanity' going on and Natasha walks out and then says to me, "Oh my god, we're shooting porn," and I'm like "Yep."

Pamela Adlon talked about her breakout role on Showtime's “Californication” at France’s Series Mania.

“When I read the pilot for ‘Californication,’ I didn’t get it. I was at gymnastics with my daughters, sitting on a cold, hard, metal bench. Years I’ve spent there and not one of them is a ****ing gymnast. I was like: ‘This is dark’. Then I found out it was a comedy. With sex.”

But it wasn’t just about sex.

“The writing is brilliant, that’s the difference. And acting: I’m still best friends with David and Natasha. This was before intimacy coordinators, so I kind of became the intimacy coordinator of the show. I think I invented being an intimacy coordinator. Honestly,” she laughed.

“Once we had to do a threesome with Charlie [Evan Handler], some weird sex thing, and I was telling this girl: ‘Honey, come here, let’s go see the showrunner and we’ll tell him what we don’t feel like doing’.”
