"I don't roll that way. I need someone else to do that stuff," she told USA Today. "I'm past that. I'm not doing that anymore. Also, who wants to see that? Not my thing."

Cuoco and Chris Messina play husband and wife in the new comedy thriller series. She said he had a body double play tennis for him, too.

The "Big Bang Theory" star was actually pregnant while they were filming, and said she was grateful to have her body double step in for her as she neared her delivery date toward the end.

Cuoco said she'd "rather let someone else" do her sex scenes and have them add "movie magic".

"We don't have to do those things anymore," she told USA Today. "We can have someone else do it, and we can fake our way through."

The first episode of "Based on a True Story" aired on Peacock Thursday.
