Steven Soderbergh has said that it was the right decision to hire porn star Sasha Grey as the lead actress in one of his movies. The director cast the 'AVN Best Three-Way Sex Scene' award winner in The Girlfriend Experience, which was recently launched via Amazon's video-on-demand channel.

Soderbergh told The Daily Telegraph: "I'm really proud of it and, structurally, it's like my film The Limey. It is very non-linear. "Using Sasha was definitely correct. She's not flaunting anything, but she has a comfort level with sexuality that you just can't fake."He added: "For me, I feel that everyone I see on TV looks like he or she is in porn. It seems to be the accepted aesthetic in terms of grooming and dress."
