\n\tBetty Gilpin<\/a> is opening up about her birthing scene in the new Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein romantic comedy \u201cOffice Romance<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHonestly, I was pretty freaked out when I first saw the prosthetic vagina,\u201d Gilpin told me at the film\u2019s Los Angeles premiere. \u201cI had a nervous breakdown and then I was like, \u2018Oh, but I\u2019ll be holding the ultimate working mom\u2019s hand, Jennifer Lopez, so what could go wrong?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGilpin explained how it all went down.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy real legs were below a table, [I had] fake prosthetic legs, and then a puppeteer was standing at my real legs pushing an animatronic baby out of my prosthetic vagina, and it made it sound like [Gilpin makes a popping sound]\u2026It was insane,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe continued, \u201cThe saddest part was when the scene was over and everybody but the puppeteers stayed in the room because the only way to reset was to go under and pull the fake placenta \u2014 I think the placenta is not in the movie anymore \u2013 but reach up through the prosthetic vagina that I am still zipped into, pull the placenta back and take the umbilical cord and pull it back and then pull the baby back through, and then it was time to do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOffice Romance stars Lopez as an airline CEO who falls for the company\u2019s in-house lawyer (Goldstein). Gilpin plays the J.Lo character\u2019s assistant.<\/p>\n

\n\tDirected by Ol Parker and co-written by Goldstein, the movie\u2019s cast also includes Edward James Olmos, Jodie Whittaker, Tony Hale, Bradley Whitford, Amy Sedaris, Jackie Sandler and more.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOffice Romance\u201d is available on Netflix.<\/p>\n

\n\tGilpin will also be scene in \u201cSocial Reckoning,\u201d Aaron Sorkin\u2019s sequel to \u201cThe Social Network.\u201d She plays an editor of the Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allen White) who broke the story of Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen.<\/p>\n

\n\tGilpin joked that she was nervous to express her true feelings about Facebook because \u201cI\u2019m scared to get a neck dart\u201d to say anything about them.
She cracked, \u201cI love lamp.\u201d<\/p>\n
