Should you’re somebody who enjoys studying concerning the movie-making course of, you actually know by now that it’s often not as thrilling as we’d think about it to be, and might even be downright bizarre at instances. That is significantly true in the case of filming intercourse scenes. Whereas they are often enjoyable to observe, they typically require the actors to be in some fairly odd conditions. Apparently, that was true for Rosamund Pike as she labored with Pierce Brosnan on Die One other Day, which was the twentieth James Bond film, and led to her first expertise with “issues like nipple covers.”
What Did Die One other Day Star Rosamund Pike Say About Filming Intercourse Scenes With Pierce Brosnan?
Die One other Day was the fourth and final of Pierce Brosnan’s 007 motion pictures, however the 2002 movie was the very first film that Rosamund Pike labored on. She’s spoken earlier than about being uneducated within the methods of Bond previous to getting into the position of the double-crossing Miranda Frost, however simply went into some further particulars whereas speaking to actor David Tennant on his podcast.
Seeing as the way it was the primary film the 22-year-old actress had executed, she’d had no expertise with intercourse scenes, and whereas the 52-year-old Brosnan “couldn’t have been lovelier,” it did result in some hilariously surprising anxiousness on Pike’s half. After noting “I found issues like nipple covers,” she mentioned:
Now we have this clinch, after which we separate, and I have a look at this physique tape and the nipple covers they usually’re lined in hair. And I feel, ‘Oh my God, I am waxing Pierce’s chest.
For many who haven’t seen the movie in a very long time, this occurs after the ice palace occasion in Bond’s…ice palace bed room. They strip down moderately unceremoniously whereas chatting and get into his…big ice swan mattress, which is roofed in furs and such as a result of it should be mighty chilly in there. The scene required that the Gone Woman star’s girl bits be lined in tape, nevertheless it seemingly ripped increasingly more hairs out of Brosnan’s chest every time they did a take. She continued:
I used to be so mortified. I believed, ‘Oh my God, he is so courageous, and I am pulling off his chest hair with each embrace.’ In fact, it took a few takes to appreciate it was not him. It was the pretend fur of the rugs adorning the swan mattress. I actually thought I used to be waxing the poor man’s chest.
Pike was in a position to snicker about all of it now, however I merely don’t know if I can consider a weirder scenario to be in as an actor. Not solely was she engaged on her first film, however then the Wheel of Time actress was bare with somebody she needed to make out with on digicam, and thought she was ripping out his chest hair, besides.
That is the form of factor which may make somebody swear off movie-making for no less than a number of years. Nevertheless, it’s no marvel why Pike acquired the half (particularly after declining to strip down for her audition), as a result of she stayed simply as cool and picked up as Ms. Frost, did her job and, fortunately, realized fairly shortly that the blankets had been accountable for all that fur-covered nipple tape. And, now she’s acquired a comic story she will look again on, on high of a film expertise that launched her profession. No hurt, no foul, I suppose.
