She's also married to Michael Fassbender! They welcomed their first child last year. (But they are super private and haven't revealed the sex or name.)

"It's the worst thing ever to do those scenes," she said. "I am very comfortable with my body, and I've done quite a bit of nudity and sex scenes, but it's never easy."

Those scenes are awkward, sure, but Alicia went into further detail about not always feeling safe on set. "I've been in situations that were not fine, where I didn't feel I was protected," she said.
