Kim Basinger has questioned the need for intimacy coordinators

In an interview with Variety, Kim said: "I can't imagine having somebody come up to me and say, 'Do you mind if they put their hand here?'

"That's just another person in the room. Either we work it out or we don't. I don't see all of this need for supervised visits."

However, Basinger did admit that shooting a good love scene requires more than to "just lay down with a bunch of baby oil".

The 'Batman' actress said: "It's a very hard thing to shoot a beautiful love scene.

"You think it's just lay down with a bunch of baby oil. It's not. It can really work your nerves."

Meanwhile, Kim revealed that she has a "great relationship" with her former husband Alec Baldwin - who she was married to between 1993 and 2002 and has daughter Ireland, 29, with.

She explained: "Alec and I have a great relationship. I have great respect for where he is today, and his family.

"You know, we don't spend Christmases and holidays or see each other very much. But we talk. He'll pick up the phone and call me, and we have a genuinely cordial and I think loving relationship in a lot of ways, just because we share a daughter, and I don't wish him anything but everything good."

Referring to the tragic incident on the set of the movie 'Rust', Basinger added: "He's been through a lot lately."

Alec is showcasing his life in the new reality series 'The Baldwins' but Kim confessed that she has no interest in doing likewise.

The 'I Dreamed of Africa' actress said: "Your anonymity is like a helium balloon. It slips out of your hand, and that's it.

"I found that out pretty young. Getting off airplanes all over the world and having people stalk your hotel rooms and bodyguards and police and this and that thinking, 'What?' You're just dumbfounded."
