How Michael Sheen Keeps His Cool Around Naked Women

In the case of the Showtime series Masters of Sex, the title isn't misleading. It's a show about sex, and with sex comes nudity. Its star, Michael Sheen, stopped by Conan last night to promote the new season and share a few tips for keeping your cool if you should just so happen be as lucky as Michael Sheen and land a job that requires you to be surrounded by naked women all day. The key to professionalism, says Sheen, is just "switching that part of your brain off," a tip he learned while speaking to a gynecologist for research that doubles as the most "easier said than done" piece of advice ever given. Nevertheless, Sheen has conditioned himself to do just that on set. "If you let your mind go anywhere near the pervy area you would just die, your head would explode," he says. To which Conan adds: "Something would explode, yeah." The fun continues later in the clip when Sheen details how auto-manipulation comes into play on set. To be an actor. Watch below.
