Davis, who hasn’t seen “Babygirl,” said that sex scenes in movies have become “an unusual thing now.” “They’re like, ‘Oh, it’s so brave. She’s so brave,'” Lowe said sarcastically. “She’s brave because she has a sex scene. That’s brave now. And in our day, it was required. There’s the page 73 rule. In the day, the sex scene was always on page 73.”

"She’s brave because she has a sex scene? Like, that’s brave now. In our day, it was required," he said on his podcast.

Officially dubbed the “Glass of Milk for Babygirl Scented Candle,” the fan-made merch features a 100% natural soy wax blend in a nine oz. glass jar. Fans can choose from three different “milk” scents, including one sweetened with “coconut cream” and cardamom. The candle has a burn time of roughly 60 hours.

Lowe, 60, said that although he thought Babygirl was a “pretty great” movie, he was puzzled as to why Kidman, 57, was hailed as “brave” for filming the erotic moments when sex scenes had previously been “required” as part of an actor’s job.

"The sex scene was always on page 73," Lowe said of his early acting years. "You didn't have to read the whole script. You just went to page 73."

Rob Lowe has taken aim at critics for branding Nicole Kidman's sex scenes as "brave". The 60-year-old actor has been appearing on screens himself since the 1970s - and was even involved in a sex tape scandal in 1988.
