A shocking truth behind the most famous sex scenes
From delusional objects to cover private parts to inopportune reactions. These are some of the things that happen behind the scenes when filming a sex scene
Cinema makes everything look more beautiful than it really is. This statement takes on more force when the lens of the camera is a sex scene. The first romantic times, the passion unleashed, the orgasms - never better said - from a movie ... On screen we have seen everything.
Assuming that most of these sequences are rarely reproduced in real life, what is unknown is how uncomfortable their shooting is for the protagonists. It is not exciting. The multitude of cameras and people, in addition to the orders of those responsible for the recording, prevents it from being fun for the actors. And if they do, it is not an appropriate gesture for the game of seduction, on the contrary: it is embarrassing.
Rather than letting go, the actors look like puppets, protagonists of a gear that the directors manage at will; a choreography in which each movement is measured to the millimeter. There is no room for improvisation in these scenes, as the ultimate intention is for everything to fit together.
The newspaper "The Sun" has compiled some of the anecdotes behind these scenes, some uncomfortable and others funny. For example, nothing foreshadowed that the sex scene between Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo in "Game of Thrones" was going to be subtle. In fact, he was noted for his rudeness and abruptness. However, according to Emilia Clarke, Jason Momoa relaxed the tense atmosphere when he appeared with the "modest" sock that covered his parts dyed pink. The actress told Graham Norton, "It's big and it's pink, and I don't know what to do!"
The historical drama "The Tudors" became popular for its explicit sex scenes, but filming them was not as difficult as might be expected. Henry Cavill even said to the magazine "Men's Health": "A girl had to be on top of me, she had spectacular breasts and I had not put my things in a harmless position. Basically she was rubbing all over me and it got a little rough. I had to apologize later. It's not great when you're in a professional acting setting, and this happens. No, it is not acceptable.
The famous McLovin was only 17 years old when he shot "Super Hot", so a father was required to be on stage during his sex scene, something that evidently did not make the experience fun for either of them.
The actor who brings the popular character to life, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, said: “My mother came in and I had fake sex in front of her. We don't talk about it later. We still do not talk about that moment.
It seems incredible that in Jennifer Lawrence's prolific career there wasn't a sex scene until "Passenger." Pretending that she had sexual relations with Chris Pratt, who was married at the time, was not to the liking of the actress, who she confessed to "The Hollywood Reporter": "I literally got drunk. But then that made me more anxious when I got home, because I was like, "What have I done? I don't know." And he was married. And it was going to be the first time I kissed a married man, and guilt is the worst feeling in your stomach. Said an actress who on ABC acknowledged that she had fun showing her breasts to the crew from her latest movie, "Red Sparrow."
