The embarrassing question about the hottest Hollywood scenes finally has an answer
To most people, performing a sex scene in front of a room full of people and cameras sounds like a really hard day at work. But for some actors, it's a regular part of it. However, this does not mean that these moments always go smoothly or that for them they are simple.
Occasionally, actors get excited during the filming of sex scenes, and it is the task of the production team to keep things professional and comfortable for everyone involved - despite the extremely embarrassing situation.
David Thackeray, an intimacy coordinator for many Hollywood studios, explained how actors and productions handle these accidental "awakening" moments. According to Thackeray, it is important to "understand that this is normal and that the worst thing you can do is keep going."
According to him, it is important to accept what is happening instead of ignoring it
"Instead of forgetting it or pointing the finger, in these scenarios we give everyone a quick break. We call it time-out! ”Says David.
It is something that happens and it is inevitable. That said, in the best interests of all, it is important to prepare the whole team before shooting sex scenes.
"We also tell the crew about the scenes that will be filmed, so that they are aware of the nudity they will see and not be surprised."
During a January 2019 interview with Mashable, intimacy coordinator Ita O'Brien (who worked at Netflix Sex Education) shared a similar approach to filming sex scenes.
"I'm there to help, making sure everyone is okay with the scenes and the nudity. I give a structure and process to get through the sex scenes. Having that structure is definitely helpful in case someone it starts to feel in a way. ”
Sa shpesh ndizen aktorët gjatë xhirimit të skenave seksuale?
Është një ide e mirë të kesh një strukturë në vend në rast se gjërat kthehen në më shumë se territor profesional, por mund të mos jetë gjithmonë e nevojshme. Shpesh, kur aktorët diskutojnë punën prapa skenave të seksit, gjërat tingëllojnë më shumë të mundimshme sesa dashurore.
Gjatë një interviste të janarit 2021 me Glamour, Phoebe Dyvenor foli për xhirimet e skenave më me avull - dhe nuk ishte aq e lehtë.
"Skena e masturbimit ishte skena më e vështirë për t'u xhiruar... Ndihesh shumë e pambrojtur në ato skena," shpjegoi ajo. “Udhëzimet e skenës janë shumë specifike: duhet të përfundosh duke pasur një orgazëm.”
Other celebrities have also opened their minds to filming sex scenes. Justin Timberlake, who filmed many sex scenes with Mila Kunis for "Friends with Benefits", told the BBC:
"In fact it's somewhat annoying, you're there for 12 hours, it's exhausting. "All those scenes revolve around dialogue and physical humor. It's so tedious."
Samira Wiler from "Orange Is The New Black" also felt like her sex scenes were definitely not sexy.
"It was definitely not sex. "It felt very mechanical," she told the Huff Post in 2014.
"Outlander" Caitriona Balfe had a similar opinion about the shooting of these intimate moments.
"I can not say that I like all the sex scenes. "They are never more fun to film," she told the Express in February.
