7 movie sex scenes that didn’t go well behind the scenes

Hollywood sex scenes are not what they seem. As viewers, They have to seem convincing, exciting and incredibly sweaty to us, authentic unforgettable sexual experiences. But, on the set of filming, what the actors and actresses experience is something completely different: a perfectly prepared and performed choreography, with limited nudity in front of a whole team giving directions or moving the camera lens too close. For example, as Josephine Langford told us about the filming of ‘After: In a Thousand Pieces’, there was someone behind the camera who asked her to use more and more language.

It’s certainly not the sexiest thing in the world for performers, and sometimes it can even become a moment to remember. To them we travel with stars like Margot Robbie Ryan Reynolds Allison Janney Y Jennifer Lawrence (who are counted among the nude actresses as required by the script and, also, the nude actors as required by the script)who confessed in the press what those sexual scenes were that they will never forget.

‘The Change’

The ‘Deadpool’ actor, Ryan Reynolds, also had an awkward experience on the set. Or funny, depending on how you look at it. It was in ‘El cambiazo’, a comedy released in 2011, and where she shared a risque scene with the now director Olivia Wilde (‘Super nerds’). In fact, it was she who decided to lower the tension of the moment with a little joke. As Reynolds recounted it on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno back then: “We were on the scene, she’s sitting down and I take off her shirt, I take off her bra and I see you’ve got these nipple covers on, but you’ve drawn cute little smiley faces on them… And I forget all the lines of dialogue in the scene, not just in this movie, in all the movies I’ve ever done in my life.” No wonder he couldn’t hold back his laughter. she takes my hands and puts them on her breasts,” Reynolds continued, “and then I pull my hands away and I look at them and there are two fucking smiley faces painted on them and I have no idea what to do. And, reflexively, like an idiot, I just put my hands on her breasts.”

’50 shades of gray’

With the number of sex scenes in ’50 Shades of Grey’, the adaptation of the novel by EL James, we are not surprised that its protagonists had a lot to say about them, even if it was to tell how routine they were. After all, surely everything was as measured to the millimeter as in Mr. Grey’s contract. as he confessed dakota johnson in an interview he said, “Filming two movies back to back, where it’s mostly the same thing, over and over again, got a bit tedious. It became a constant: ‘how are we going to make this fucking sex scene better than the others?’ There is a lot you can do when the movie has a rating not recommended for those under 18 years of age. It was complicated”. But beyond the difficulties, there were also moments for the anecdote. The actress told: “I once had a cramp because Jamie Dornan threw me on the bed.“, he told Glamor. “It was so fucking painful. I wish we had a montage of outtakes from the shoot.”

‘The Legend of Tarzan’

Sometimes the actors are very into the sex scenes and accidents happen. Curiously, that happened in ‘The Legend of Tarzan’ between Margot Robbie and Alexander Skarsgård. As told by the director of the film, David Yachts, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the filming of the sex scene between the protagonists ended with a bruise. And the culprit was Robbie. Well more or less. “They’re doing this love scene together, and I told him [a Robbie]: ‘Slap Alex while making love, just punch him’Yates recalls. The result?It was kind of an earthy, sensual moment where she was enjoying sex with Alex, and the only bruise the actor picked up during the entire shoot was probably Margot’s punch.. Which says a lot about how feisty she is.” In an interview with bureau 24/7the actress gave her version of events: “I didn’t hurt him that much, and I didn’t hit him in the face, at least not too hard. But he’s a strong guy, he can take it. We just got a little carried away“. The chemistry between the two was more than evident, so this was not the case of a sex scene that falls into awkwardness, quite the opposite.

‘Passengers’

A Jennifer Lawrence he doesn’t like sex scenes. Or, at least, they give him a lot of respect. So she confessed it during the promotion of ‘Passengers’, a science fiction movie that she starred with Chris Pratt. At a certain point in the story, the two share a sex scene, for which the actress prepared herself… by having a bad time the night before. “When she was on set, she was like: “Oh, I’m going to get drunk for the sex scene, because it’s stressful and scary.”revealed on the show Late Night with Seth Meyers. “And then you forget that, you know, you’re at work and you’re going to be working for eight hours. By the time it was my turn to act, I had an incredible hangover,” she continued.

‘Life in times of war’

the veteran allison janney, winner of the Oscar for ‘I, Tonya’, has had many experiences in front of the cameras in her more than thirty-year career. But there is a particular moment that, according to what she said, she will not forget in her life, and it had to do with the recording of a sex scene. It was in the movie ‘Life in times of war’, released in 2009, in which she and her co-star Michael Lerner they had to perform a very passionate sexual relationship standing up against a wall. “They started spraying us with some shiny substances so that we could be seen sweatingbut nobody seemed to realize that we were on a marble floor,” he recalled in an interview with the magazine People. “They said ‘Action!’ and he carried me up to the wall, and his feet started to slip and we fell to the ground. It was terrible, but it was one of those moments that I will never forget.”

‘Love and Other Drugs’

Before winning her Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for ‘Les Miserables’, Anne Hathaway starred in this romantic comedy with Jake Gyllenhaalbased on the true story of Jamie Reidy. In it, the protagonists star in a very intimate scene, but the anecdote that has brought it to this list has nothing to do with the filming of it, but with the moment in which Hathaway thought she was. She explained it herself the premiere of the film in New York: “I had to take off my trench coat, and I was naked underneath, and I thought we were filming. But it turned out that we were just rehearsing, and I got unnecessarily naked in front of a lot of people!“. Wow, she stayed as God brought her into the world.

‘Maps to the stars’

We would never have imagined that a sex scene (or any scene) would be a problem for two stars of the stature of Robert Pattinson Y Julianne Moore. And, well, she was very calm, but he had a pretty bad time. It was in ‘Maps to the stars’ by David Cronenberg, and there is a moment when the two actors have a sexual encounter in a car. But while Moore was into the role, Pattinson was on to other things. “I sweat like a fucking madman,” she said in an interview with the magazine Heat. “Literally, at the time, he was trying to catch my beads of sweat to keep them from hitting his back. Then she said to me, ‘Are you having a panic attack?’ What a shame“.
