(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jesse Metcalfe "has to laugh" when he's filming risqu scenes for Dallas.

The actor is starring as Bobby Ewing's adopted son Christopher in the re-vamped version of the classic show. Jesse has some steamy scenes to film, but insists it's not a sexy situation.

"It's usually a bit bizarre. It's not what people perceive it to be. When you're having a love scene with 30 cast and crew it's awkward but you have to laugh," he smiled in an interview with the UK edition of OK! magazine.

Jesse has revealed how the love scenes on Dallas compare to kissing Eva Longoria on Desperate Housewives.

"Oh man, it's similar, you know? It's work. Obviously people are going to hear me say it's work and they'll be like, yes, that's hard work, but Eva and I had a special rapport," he gushed. "We were really close. We could laugh about anything. When you can laugh about anything and there's no judgement between two people, you can do anything on screen.

"We're still getting to know each other on Dallas, but there's no doubt there are some hot scenes on the show!" (C) Cover Media
