Nicole Kidman’s co-star reveals which sex scene was the most ‘embarrassing’ in movie she had to pause filming as ‘didn’t want to org*sm anymore’

Nicole Kidman’s co-star has opened up about the sex scene that the star claimed she had to pause filming as she “didn’t want to org*sm anymore.”

The 57-year-old Oscar-winning actress stars alongside Iron Claw actor Harris Dickinson in the highly anticipated A24 film Babygirl.

Check out the trailer below:

Kidman plays Romy, an ambitious married tech CEO who embarks on a passionate affair with Samuel, a young intern played by Dickinson.

In a candid interview with The Sun, Kidman opened up about the impact the sexual scenes had on her, describing days on set as overwhelming.

“There was an enormous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration. It’s like, ‘Don’t touch me,'” she said.

The actress confessed there were moments when the intensity became too much, adding: “There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to org*sm anymore.'”

Dickinson has now opened up about his own experience during a recent interview with Variety.

The Where the Crawdads Sing actor revealed that while the scenes were carefully coordinated, one in particular – featuring near-naked dancing to a George Michael song – left him feeling especially self-conscious.

“Halina [Reijn, the director] put the song on and said, ‘Just dance.’ So I just had a little groove,” Dickinson recalled, adding with a laugh: “Maybe I had a little whiskey before. But it was embarrassing.”

Dickinson also explained the role of the film’s intimacy coordinator, Lizzie Talbot, in ensuring that the actors felt comfortable during the more explicit scenes.

“We’d have a discussion with the intimacy coordinator, and then Nicole and I kind of did our own thing with it once we set the parameters of what we were both comfortable with,” he explained.

Talbot’s role, Dickinson noted, was to facilitate the process delicately without disrupting the scene, ensuring both the actors and the director’s vision were respected.

The film had its early premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where Kidman’s performance earned her the prestigious Volpi Cup for Best Actress, per PEOPLE.

During a recent Q&A, the Big Little Lies star shared that Babygirl pushed her into new territory as an actress.

“There’s a sort of a jump-off-the-cliff thing where you go, okay, I’m just going to abandon everything and explore this,” she said, noting the importance of trusting her director and co-stars in such an emotionally charged film.

Kidman praised director Halina Reijn for creating a safe environment on set.

“You have your director at the helm going, ‘I will protect you. Nothing that’s going to be in the film will be anything that you are not comfortable with,’” she explained.
