Robin Wright was relieved when it only took one take to film her sex scenes with Keanu Reeves.

The 'Forrest Gump' actress - who recently ended her marriage to Sean Penn - found it hard to shoot parts of her new movie, 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee', especially when her character had to make love to Keanu's in the back of a truck.

She said: "Any kind of vulnerability is always hard to do. Just being exposed in that way is difficult. People say it's hard to do those scenes revealing the blood and soul of your heart, crying. That's easy-peasy for me. Intimacy is far more challenging. Thank God we did it in one take."

Robin also revealed she wants fans to start remembering her for her new movies rather than 1994's 'Forrest Gump' and 1987's 'The Princess Bride'.

She told USA Today newspaper: "I love those movies, and they're going to go down in history. They're iconic. And I love that I'm a part of film history. But, it's so then, and we're now. It's 20, 22 years ago. I'm interested in doing other things."
