Harris Dickinson says he and Nicole Kidman freestyled their sex scenes in their erotic new movie, “Babygirl.” “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,” Dickinson, 28, recently told Variety . “The intimacy coordinator is saying, ‘What are you comfortable with, what do you want as a director, what are you comfortable doing from that vision?’ They’re facilitating that and doing it very delicately without interrupting the actual scene.
” “Babygirl” follows a powerful CEO, Romy (Kidman), who begins an affair with a young intern, Samuel (Dickinson). Romy’s husband (Antonio Banderas) knows nothing about her dangerous liaison, which ends up putting her career and her family life at risk. The movie proved daunting for Kidman, 57.
When asked what she considered to be the most challenging part about making the film, Kidman told Variety, “The whole thing.” “Actually doing it justice and trying to be open and raw and available each day in every which way to explore,” she qualified. “Because the nature of that film, it was either going to be completely vulnerable and exposed, or you were going to be protected, and then the thing wouldn’t connect.
When I met with [Director Halina Reijn], and we talked through it, I was just like, ‘Just give us a safe space,’ and then, ‘Please don’t make me look like a fool.’” .
