Getting naked and making out with your co-worker while a bunch of people watch and film does not sound like a normal experience \u2014 but for many actors, it’s just part of the job. And some of them have some pretty wild tales to tell about it…<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 1.<\/span><\/p>\n Long before Adam Brody<\/a> and Kristen Bell starred in Nobody Wants This<\/i><\/a>, they played love interests on House of Lies<\/i> and filmed a sex scene while Kristen was heavily pregnant in real life \u2014 leading Adam Brody to jokingly refer to the scene as “our threesome”, according to Kristen<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 2.<\/span><\/p>\n Heated Rivalry<\/i><\/a> got everyone talking about its steamy scenes \u2014 including star Hudson Williams<\/a>, who plays Shane. He shared that during the first sex scene he filmed with Connor Storrie<\/a>, who plays Ilya, he got stomach pain from being “slammed” after rejecting a crash pad.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 3.<\/span><\/p>\n Andrew Garfield<\/a> revealed that<\/a> he and Florence Pugh got so into a sex scene while filming We Live in Time<\/i>, they didn’t hear “cut” and kept going after they needed to.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 4.<\/span><\/p>\n Nicole Kidman said she felt “exposed” but safe with director Halina Reijn while filming the sex scenes in erotic thriller Babygirl<\/i>, adding that it left her “ragged”<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 5.<\/span><\/p>\n Emilia Clarke had to do a lot of sex scenes during her time as Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones<\/i>. In 2019, she told Dax Shepard<\/a> she felt like she was “floating through” it all while filming Season 1.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 6.<\/span><\/p>\n Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson filmed a lot<\/i> of sex scenes together for the erotic Fifty Shades<\/i> trilogy, and Dakota shared that they’re “never easy” and “it’s not fun”. She revealed that the hardest scene to film<\/a> was when her character Ana is handcuffed and blindfolded in Fifty Shades Freed<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 7.<\/span><\/p>\n Rosamund Pike told Seth Meyers<\/a> her sex scene with Neil Patrick Harris in Gone Girl<\/i> was an “odd experience”, but it was rehearsing it for two hours on a sound stage alone at director David Fincher’s request that was what really felt “highly inappropriate.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 8.<\/span><\/p>\n Judy Greer was another actor who found a sex scene rehearsal excruciating \u2014 even though she went into it with confidence. She told People<\/a> that while rehearsing a sex scene with Woody Harrelson for the movie Wilson<\/i>, her performance got a little too enthusiastic.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 9.<\/span><\/p>\n Woody Harrelson, meanwhile, was once very candid<\/a> about his intimate scenes with Demi Moore for 1993’s Indecent Proposal<\/i>, and Demi also opened up about her experience on the erotic drama.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 10.<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel Radcliffe said that Kill Your Darlings<\/i><\/a> director<\/a> John Krokidas gave him a lot of “graphic detail” and “step-by-step instructions” to prepare him for the movie’s sex scene. “The favorite note I have ever had was when we were kissing and the director shouted, \u2018Not like that. Crazy sex kissing!'”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 11.<\/span><\/p>\n The always-candid Robert Pattinson described his sex scene<\/a> with Julianne Moore in Maps to the Stars<\/i>, as “so funny” because they had only just met before filming it \u2014 and he got extremely sweaty.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 12.<\/span><\/p>\n Lena Dunham created and starred in Girls<\/i>, and in 2012 told Conan O’Brien<\/a> about her conflicting feelings around the show’s sex scenes: “I will be lying there, kind of being slammed by a naked body, thinking, ‘I want out of this bed. I want out of this scene. I want out of this life. Who did this to me?’ And I realized, I’m my own boss. I’ve written it. I’m directing it. I’m the person holding myself in sexual slavery.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 13.<\/span><\/p>\n Ryan Guzman starred opposite Jennifer Lopez in The Boy Next Door,<\/i> and told People<\/a> he put too much “oomph” into a scene where he had to lift her, sending her into the ceiling. Perhaps worse, though, was his dad’s reaction when watching the steamy scene: \u201cMy dad went into a theater full of all my friends and family back home in Sacramento. Right around that part in the movie, he decided to get up and yell out, ‘That\u2019s my boy!'”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 14.<\/span><\/p>\n Riley Keough told Seth Meyers<\/a> that her husband had a cameo in a sex scene with her for Daisy Jones & The Six,<\/i> but their real-life relationship actually made filming it more<\/i> awkward.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 15.<\/span><\/p>\n Peter Sarsgaard filmed a sex scene with Jessie Buckley for The Lost Daughter<\/i> \u2014 but what made it unusual was that his wife, Maggie Gyllenhaal, was the director \u2014 something which he told NME<\/a> he “recommends”.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 16.<\/span><\/p>\n In 2011 while promoting Mildred Pierce<\/i>, Kate Winslet said<\/a> that filming sex scenes is “profoundly bizarre” and that she hates it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 17.<\/span><\/p>\n Ben Affleck wrote, directed and starred in Live by Night<\/i>, which features a montage of sex scenes between his character Joe Coughlin and Sienna Miller’s character Emma Gould. This required hours and hours of shooting, which Sienna told E!<\/a> she found “hysterical”, at one point laughing so hard she had to leave the room.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 18.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
