Will Smith has branded sex scenes 'the worst part of acting'. 

Appearing on Friday's episode of The Graham Norton Show, the star, who is blazing the promo trail with his new movie King Richard, spoke to the chat show host and Richard Osman about the low-points of acting and getting sexy on-screen.
