If you have ever watched a scene in a movie that features a steamy scene and wondered, “How do actors actually do that?”
You’re not alone.
The same question was also asked by British rapper Stormzy in a chat with Kate Hudson on The Jonathan Ross Show.
Her response was hilariously insightful.
When the subject was brought up, Stormzy didn’t hold back, even saying, “When I see sex scenes, I’m like how the hell do you lot do that?’ As your average punter, it simply looks extremely difficult,” he said, adding of course it’s your job.
“Can there be… arousal… everyone’s thought it!”
Ever the professional, Hudson didn’t shy away from the awkwardness of the question. It was “an interesting question” and she dove right in, laughing.
“I think it’s so mechanical and there’s so many people around,” she explained.
“Usually they close the set and you kind of have to talk it out, and the boys wear belts. It’s very… tucked.”
“It kind of takes the fun out of it, I guess.”
Most people probably don’t use the word “Tucked” to describe passionate movie moments, but there you have it.
However, Hudson added nuance, adding that whether an intimate scene feels good really depends on the situation.
“Sometimes it’s more enjoyable than other times,” she admitted.
“It just depends on the circumstance and the safety that you feel with that actor and how safe the space feels. It can get awkward.”
When it came to Stormzy, who has tried his hand at acting recently, he seemed relieved to get a straight answer.
And he says he had a similar experience filming with actress Saffron Hocking, initially nervous about their own on screen intimacy.
“I’m a rubbish actor,” he confessed.
“The idea of me going on set with someone that’s awkward and I’m awkward…”
“We got Saffron in and she’s a true professional. She made me really comfortable and led the whole thing.”
