Jamie Bell attempted to cover his manhood with a sock when he filmed his first movie sex scene.The 'Billy Elliot' star was so nervous about getting naked in front of a 30-man crew for new film 'Hallow Foe' he begged to hide his shame with the clothing item.He said: "I asked the director before filming if I could cover my intimate parts with a sock, but he said no. "For all the people there it was just another movie scene, but I was horribly nervous."Although he was anxious about the scenes, the 21-year-old star says his steamy on screen encounter with 36-year-old 'Meet Joe Black' star Claire Forlani made all his friends jealous.Bell recently explained: "Every guy I tell about that is like, 'You lucky b*****d.'"It's the first sex scene I've done. Sex was going to come up in the next three years and I wanted to do it with someone who has a good repertoire.
