Sex/Life's Sarah Shahi On Dating Her Co-Star Adam Demos IRL | GLAMOUR UK

What doesn’t Sarah Shahi do on screen? As Billie in Netflix megahit Sex/Life, one minute she’s doing the wheelbarrow, the next she is tending to her children and in the process is giving us a well-rounded stereotype defying female character we have long needed.
If you haven’t watched Sex/Life yet then you are in for an eye-opening ride, as it follows stay-at-home wife and suburban mother, Billie, who finds herself lusting after the life she used to have as a care-free New York gal. After discovering her journals from her work-hard-play-even-harder heydays, Billie finds herself wondering whether to start a sexual revolution in her marriage with Cooper (Mike Vogel) or track down the bad boy who broke her heart, Brad, played by her real-life partner, Adam Demos.
This isn’t the first time you may have seen Sarah on our screens after roles in the likes of The L Word and Person of Interest but this is a cultural shift of a show, which puts female pleasure in the starring role and catapults Sarah into the spotlight at 41 years old. And we love to see it!
Here Sarah opens up about finding herself, overcoming identity crisis in her own life, finding love both on and off screen and refusing to adhere to outdated stereotypes…

Sex/Life's Sarah Shahi On Dating Her Co-Star Adam Demos IRL | GLAMOUR UK

[@patrice7p]

Wonderful actress, I was blown away by how she played the character! I think the personal experience showed through ! Bravo , Sarah!

[@ria9485]

She's so open in every question, wow 👏♥️♥️

[@alanamitchell4880]

This is such a motivational and powerful interview. I totally respect your honesty.

[@ottohonkala6861]

She is the 2020's definition of effortless looking sexy and elegant. Incredible.

[@Sara-qw7lc]

People are critiquing her acting on the show but I found her portrayal to be very real! It was a woman’s perspective! But so many ppl are like “oh this show sets a bad example, condones cheating” when they forget that “NOTHING will stop someone from cheating” and this is just a show, if you are being influenced to cheat by watching a show, then maybe you need to chill from watching shows like this hahah 😆

[@learnlivelove7606]

[@adamcraig1468]

This show was one of the best portrayals of female nature. Unfortunately if you dont keep a woman in line, she will wander

[@irtezabhatti9071]

Every evil thing happening in this world doesn't Need to be shown on mainstream. I don't know when will ppls understand this and especially the shows which condone cheating what u just wrote.

She is a beautiful woman and her acting is perfect.... When I watch the show it's like she's not even acting. Can't wait to see the next season....😉👍

[@Skylaaaa13]

The comments on this are so sad , to see so many women judging is awful and this to me was very real and raw.If this was portrayed from a male perspective it would be fine.Becoming a mother is hard but loosing a part of yourself is even harder 🙌🏽

In India even men don't have sex with anyone else once they're married. And that's what the Bible says.

[@jacobwekesa5089]

@@s.sh.4442 I know this is an old comment, but I can't just let you go thinking you are very intelligent after such nonsense. Yes, the movie is about adultery but it also hails it. That it's okay to go ahead and sleep with whoever you desire regardless of being married. And this too as an act of freedom. Adultery here is shown as freedom, and it is a promiscuous ideology they are trying to sell us. If you think it's okay, then you have a weak mind that's easily fooled. Even cheaters know it isn't something to be proud of.

[@s.sh.4442]

@@jacobwekesa5089 I'm not trying or interested in sounding intelligent here (maybe you feel that way because what I said actually makes sense). I commented because I sense a double standard when people (mainly men of course)are so outraged with movies about women cheating while they may not be that upset about cheating men even in real life let alone in movies. I guess cheating men in movies is so natural that it hardly gets noticed.

[@mariareyes-ku6194]

Been married for 25 years, I prefer my steady and faithful relationship to a sexual fling with another man. What happens is one of them has an accident and can no longer provide that great sex life, will that person be dumped too? That’s the difference of having a good marriage, a person that is faithful to you and will love you no matter what instead of a crazy guy that is still playing the single part in his life and takes for granted a good relationship. A relationship based on sex alone, will eventually die.

[@sxriss7717]

ur depressed

[@thunder8185]

Communication was defo missing from the marriage and I wish they highlighted that more. Cooper was willing to learn how to please her she just needed to be keen to teach him and she wasn't. Also it's a lot to risk over a man she knew 8 years ago. How does she know the sex will be just a good?

[@user-qr7ee2cp4y]

I wish the show would have tried to conquer the issue intelligently. All three characters are smart, they should all know better. Billie is a psychologist... this issue is right up her alley. Instead, all three characters do the opposite of what they should do. You could still have all the characters make better choices and still have failure. Was hoping this show would do better for Sarah since it's a great subject and she seems like a great person.

[@meypuim2951]

Sex with Brad was not just for the sake of sex, it was a deep emotional experience kind of sex, that's the type of sex that makes you feel in love. I think most women who says this show is about cheating miss the whole point that she was deeply in love with Brad.

[@beanos8930]

@@meypuim2951 yeah but don't cheat though Billie could've broke up with Cooper but she didn't cooper tried to break up but she kept telling him that she loved him and still cheated on him anyways and the female actor was basically saying it was okay to cheat in this interview

[@meypuim2951]

@@beanos8930 I agree but in real life, I don't think it happens that way. Now I think she will get turned down by him or it was one of those fantasies she had. If brad really loves her, he'd be mad that she is still with her husband and would say no, I want all of you or nothing. I mean, I know I would get mad if the one I loved didn't leave his gf/wife yet. I couldnt be with him that way. Yes I think Billie is confused. She's afraid to leave cooper because she doesn't know if she can trust brad.

[@lisalehner3990]

@@user-qr7ee2cp4y but people are not perfect and real couples fail to communicate, so I think that's actually well done. Depends on the person who watches, if they think wow Billx should talk more to her husband about that, or, wow, Billy does not talk to her husband about this, but since nobody in the show points that out as negative, it must be okay then

[@swavnasahoo711]

Mhm. But ngl Billy is NOT an inspiration. She threw all the communication to the flames expecting "just sex with having nothing changed with her husband at all".🙏🏻Whereas Brad wanted her as a partner. And Cooper put his all into it. She is a great actress. Kudos that she actually gave a divorce to her real life ex husband instead of stringing him along like the inspiration she states (Billy) did.

[@mahelgeolamin431]

Well said Sarah..You know one thing I realized is as we grow older especially if you're married the society really stereotyping you to this to do that . that at the end you tend to forget yourself that you want to grow also. I admired you for being vocal about your desires and wants..You know this is an eye opener..especially to those marriages that are struggling with the same situation. Good luck to you my dear🥰

[@lukecullins9934]

So you're saying a man should invest and commit to a woman , have children with her and then once mid life crisis hits her she will go back searching for crazy sex with as many ppl she wants and you think that is something that is justified? 😂😂It's not society stereotyping anything ..it's how marriage works .If you're unsatisfied sexually just divorce but chasing awesome sex and also expecting hubby to pay for everything is something U cannot do ..You either choose the route of sexual freedom or leave hubby ..imagine Thinking a man is just going to watch his wife become a street hoe because apparently she wants alot of men to please her again 😂😂😂😂😂😂

She basically said it was okay to cheat 💀

[@mahelgeolamin431]

@@beanos8930 is she cheating ? Maybe give her benefit of the doubt . What's happening as I see it is she's in soul searching. Maybe maybe she will find her happiness and who are we to judge her?

[@barryepsteins4984]

Marriage is a dying institution and marriage vows mean squat. Men are walking away for good reason. Too much risk. From a woman's perspective: It's what have you done for me lately. No such thing as building equity in a marriage. Doesn't exist. Feel very bad for her children.

After you have kids and have assets you can't be just jumping into any relationship. You have make sure the man is bringing something worthwhile to the table. Make sure he is going to give and not just take. A lot of women who are ordinary people not celebrities end up in older age with hardly anything to live on except their measly social security check to retire. You can't think like just a school girl and follow the wealthy celebrities who can afford to make goofy mistakes

[@andreabrantley6951]

💭 Sounds like she wanted to feel wanted, or desired (wanted more &ex.) I say talk about it and try to make it work, but you should move on if you're not happy, it's better for the family, instead of resenting each other. / 💎 She's a beautiful woman. (love, blessings, and strenght.)

According to her, once we're married, we're supposed to dress, behave, and even have sex a certain way and completely repress the way we actually want to dress, behave, and have sex. That's not true, and it's too bad Sarah judged herself that way during her first marriage. It's even sadder that she thought that making this show would expose people to true "liberation." What if - and just bear with me here - she just told her husband what she wanted and liked sexually?
