Oh, the downfalls of playing a virgin!

Gina Rodriguez, the charming star of the CW's breakout hit Jane the Virgin, has had to talk a lot about her sex life since the series premiered in October. And guess what? Her boyfriend is not amused!

The star, who rocked a gorgeous black Badgley Mischka gown and is nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical, chatted with Giuliana Rancic on the red carpet at the 72nd Annual Globe Globe Awards about constantly being asked by fans if she's a virgin. 'Cause, ya know, she's Jane, the virgin. 

"Reporters have been very nice to me. I think it's normally the fans and watchers who wanna ask me, ‘So, are you a virgin?'" she said. "And I'm like, ‘None of your business!' [Laughing] C'mon! Typecasting! Method acting!" 

Watch: Gina Rodriguez Responds to "Inappropriate Questions"

Not laughing over the personal question? Gina's boyfriend, Henri Esteve!

"Talk to my boyfriend, he's really upset about it," she told Giuliana about the virginity questions. "Just kidding, it's inappropriate. It's all inappropriate!"

Inappropriate questions about her personal life aside, Jane the Virgin, which was just renewed for a second season by the CW, has made Gina the breakout star of the season, with many dubbing her "the Next Big Thing." And it's a title Gina takes very seriously. 

"It motivates me to work harder," she said. "I'm empowered. I mean, when you get a title like that it's like, ‘OK, back to the work.' You have to work very hard to prove you are deserving of that. So I go back to work tomorrow and I will continue to try and prove that I am worthy of that."
