Sydney Sweeney and Brandon Sklenar share one of the most talked-about scenes in The Housemaid \u2013 the hotel scene, and people have been curious about what it was like to film it. The movie, adapted from Frieda McFadden\u2019s popular BookTok novel, follows Millie, a woman recently released from prison, as she gets caught up in a fiery affair with Andrew Winchester.<\/p>\n
One of the most memorable moments happens in a hotel room, where the tension between Millie and Andrew reaches its peak. According to director Paul Feig, filming these intimate scenes was approached \u201clike stunt\u201d work. Speaking to Cinema Blend<\/a>, he said, \u201cWell, I mean directing a love scene, you know, a sex scene if you will, is always uncomfortable for me. But we had a great intimacy coordinator.\u201d<\/p>\n Credit: Lionsgate<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Feig also explained that the actors were very comfortable with the scenes. \u201cI mean, the two actors were just so comfortable with it and they were cool. I was the old hung up guy in the room. But by the end of shooting you\u2019re just yelling, you know \u2018Have an org*sm!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n In an interview with The Times<\/a>, Feig emphasised how confident Sweeney and Sklenar were. \u201cThere\u2019s nobody more uncomfortable with it than this guy,\u201d he said, pointing at himself. \u201cBut Syd and Brandon are so body positive that they thought it was hilarious that I was so uncomfortable. She\u2019s very proud of how she looks, and you should be.\u201d<\/p>\n He also highlighted the importance of intimacy coordinators in Hollywood. \u201cWhen you have a 63-year-old man amongst all these beautiful young people, you don\u2019t want to be the pervy p*rn producer, telling people to do stuff,\u201d Feig said.<\/p>\n Sydney Sweeney<\/a> herself previously spoke to W Magazine<\/a> about her comfort with nudity on screen. \u201cI don\u2019t get nervous,\u201d she said. \u201cI think that the female body is a very powerful thing. And I\u2019m telling my character\u2019s story. So I owe it to them to tell it well and to do what needs to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n\u2018I was the old hung up guy in the room\u2019<\/h2>\n
