Filming a steamy sex scene with Dancing With the Stars finalist Gilles Marini wouldn't normally be considered an act of "cruelty."
Look back at the hot contestants of last season's Dancing With the Stars
But Brothers & Sisters star Rachel Griffiths laments she had to do it just six months after giving birth to daughter Clementine.
"I've got these lovemaking scenes with Gilles, and I said, 'I'm going to call PETA because it must be cruelty to animals to have a woman who just had a baby six months ago to have to do a bed scene with Gilles," she joked to UsMagazine.com at the VIP Opening Night of Art Los Angeles Contemporary in L.A. Thursday.
She added, laughing: "It's ridiculous!"
The 41-year-old actress -- who is also mother to son Banjo Patrick, 6, and daughter Adelaide Rose, 4 -- maintained modesty about how she has gotten her slim post-baby bod.
Take a look at these incredible post-baby bodies
"I think it's just three kids and working full time," the Australian-born star told Us. "Honestly, I haven't thought about it. Really, I think I looked in the mirror at that moment and said, 'Oh wow! Maybe I should start working out.' But I tend to not get neurotic about it so I can meet my family's needs and my baby's needs. But, I am starting to feel like I want to get a little stronger and fitter."
As for Clementine?
"She's great," she told Us. "She's not crawling yet, but she appeared to be doing downward dog yesterday, which I was pretty impressed with!"
