Ilana Glazer confesses she was shocked how “horny” she was while pregnant with her daughter, who was born in July 2021.
“I was full-on horny when I was pregnant,” she told Page Six at the premiere of her new film “Babes.”
“I was so sick when I was pregnant for the first six months,” Glazer explained, “and sometimes sex would be the only context in which I wasn’t sick. Women tend to be horny through context, like dinner and candles, which is lit, but the spontaneous, animalistic horniness of pregnancy is nuts!
Glazer recently told the website Scary Mommy that she wanted the movie to be up front about the parts of pregnancy and childbirth that society — and even moviemakers who are usually comfortable with a little gross-out humor — don’t like to talk about.
“In the birth scene in [Judd Apatow’s 2007 pregnancy romp ‘Knocked Up,’] Katherine Heigl’s ‘vagina’ is the material of a sex doll, and there’s no [realistic child-birth features] . . . And that’s the closest reference we have to our movie,” she said.
The star added: “We’re really parched for representation. I’m a white Jewish woman, and even I’m parched for representation. Little picture, [I wanted to talk about] your boobs being out of control, that you have to birth the placenta . . . No one tells you that, literally until you’re on the table.”
In the comedy, Glazer plays a woman who becomes pregnant from a one-night stand and leans on her best friend and mother of two for guidance and advices
The “Broad City” alum, who also co-wrote the buzzed-about comedy, said that she learned a lot about herself while making the flick. “I learned how capable I am,” she exclaimed. “Like, damn, I’m capacious!”
The premiere was a family affair, with Glazer’s parents, brother Eliot and her husband, David Rooklin, joining her on the red carpet
