Colman: Basket Costume Made Sex Scenes Less Embarrassing
31 Oct
Summary
- Colman found sex scenes less embarrassing due to co-star chemistry and humor.
- Skarsgård's wicker costume limited his mobility during intimate scenes.
- Directors demonstrated scenes, and the set remained closed for comfort.
Olivia Colman found intimate scenes in "Wicker Husband" to be less embarrassing than anticipated, crediting strong chemistry with co-star Alexander Skarsgård. The film, an adaptation of Ursula Wills' short story, features Colman as a fisherwoman who commissions a partner, played by Skarsgård.
Colman noted that humor injected into the sex scenes and the directors' willingness to demonstrate made the process easier. Skarsgård's elaborate wicker costume, crafted by Wētā Workshop, significantly impacted his character's movements, particularly during intimate moments, requiring creative adjustments.
The directors, who are married, maintained a closed set and guided the actors through the scenes. Skarsgård spent two hours daily in makeup for the costume, which was constructed from organic and synthetic materials.
