December 8, 2003 — William H. Macy has admitted in an interview that he was nervous about doing a nude scene with Maria Bello in "The Cooler".

"I was scared to death," Macy admitted to the San Francisco Chronicle in an interview published Sunday.

Macy, who is married to actress Felicity Huffman and has two young daughters, was so concerned that he insisted on meeting with Bello before production began.

"He said, 'How about those sex scenes?' " Bello said, recalling how Macy broke the ice when they got together at a restaurant.

In the film, Macy plays Bernie, a loser hired by a casino to cool off "hot," or winning, tables. His bad luck changes when he begins an affair with a cocktail waitress, Bello's character.
