Is it difficult to shoot a sex scene with your wife? Ewan McGregor responds

A couple on screen and in the city

Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead have been a couple since they met on the set of the third season of Fargo in 2016 and married since 2022. They have also toured together Birds of preyand in the new Paramount+ series A gentleman in Moscowthat comes out March 29, 2024. And for this series, in which Ewan McGregor plays Count Alexander Rostov and Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Anna Urbanova, an actress at the height of her fame, they filmed together sex scenes.

“Necessary” for Ewan McGregor

One might intuitively think that the actor and actress, intimate in the city, did not need coordination of intimacy for these sequences. It’s the opposite, assures Ewan McGregor a wonderful interview given to Radio Timeswho judges that the use of one and an intimacy coordinatorHaley Muraleedharan (1 episode) and Enric Ortuno (5 episodes), “necessary“.

We had an intimacy coordinator! It’s always necessary, because it’s also towards the team, it’s always strange to be naked in front of people, it’s always strange to be intimate in front of a camera. If you were shooting a dance scene, you would have a choreographer. Now he is an important part of the job, because he is someone who can mediate between the actors and the director.

Thus, Ewan McGregor explains that the need to coordinate the intimacy was not so much to agree with Mary Elizabeth Winstead, but to facilitate the filming of these sequences in relation to the rest of the team. Furthermore, he also points out the importance of this function in audiovisual productions, with in mind his daughters Ester and Claraalso actresses.

My daughter Esther is 22 years old. If an older, famous director says to a 22-year-old actress, “I want you to be naked in this scene,” the actress might think, “God, I have to do this scene, maybe my career will depend on it.” And then five years later I go back to that scene and say, “I wish I hadn’t done that. Why am I naked in that scene? It wasn’t necessary.”
