Dame Emma Thompson has recalled shooting her first-ever s-x scene.
Appearing on the wildly popular podcast My Dad Wrote a P-rno, the actor spoke about filming the Richard Curtis rom-com The Tall Guy, in which she starred alongside Jeff Goldblum
“My first film… was called The Tall Guy and there was a s-x scene in it,” she said.
“Because it was a comedy s-x scene, we were shagging on the piano, we were shagging in the breakfast things. There was shots of my arse with bits of toast stuck to it. Two f----ng days of being n-de on set.
“And when the campaign came out, the Campaign Against Pornography… said that if they were to show their children a s-x scene, they would show that one, because it was fun, and funny, and full of humour. Because I noticed at the time that all s-x scenes, everyone was so angry. They’re angry! You look at people’s faces, you look at Basic Instinct. Sharon Stone… livid! So cross!”
The scene in question does indeed show a piece of toast stuck to Thompson as she rolls around frivolously with Goldblum, even smashing a tea pot over his head. The 1989 film was Thompson’s first on screen role; her performance was met with praise while the romp itself receiving middling reviews.
