Actors and Actresses on What It's Like Filming Nude Scenes for Movies
Filming the difficult sex scenes on HBO's "Big Little Lies" was emotionally taxing for Nicole Kidman.
On "Big Little Lies," Nicole Kidman's character is in an abusive relationship with her on-screen husband, played by Alexander Skarsgård.
The two have emotional, violent sex scenes together, and the actress described to W magazine that the experience of filming them left her feeling "exposed and vulnerable and deeply humiliated at times."
One particularly difficult scene in episode seven stood out to Kidman, and she said she couldn't even get up off of the floor between takes.
Reflecting on those hard scenes, she said, "But at times I would have flashes of images of women that have gone through this and I'm like, 'This is authentic, this is the truth and this is what I have to do, and it would just come through like that.'"
Although the scenes were challenging to film, Kidman said that she had "an enormous amount of trust" in director Jean-Marc Vallée and co-star Skarsgård.
