When actors talk about filming sex scenes they normally say that they’re awkward and not in the least erotic, with the whole thing being a largely technical exercise. Henbry Cavill seems to agree, but it also appears that on at least one occasion, while he brain wasn’t aroused, other parts of his anatomy disagreed.
Talking to Men’s Fitness (via TheWrap) about filming an intimate scene in the TV show The Tudors, he says, “It’s only happened to me once, and it was very embarrassing. A girl had to be on top of me, she had spectacular breasts, and I hadn’t rearranged my — stuff into a harmless position. She’s basically rubbing herself all over me and, um, it got a bit hard.”
I had to apologize profusely afterward.“It’s not great when you’re in a professional acting environment and somebody gets a boner, is it? No, not acceptable.”
He was keen to add though, “You don’t think of sex scenes as showing your bum to the nation. The very last thing it is is sexy. The actual physicality is very uncomfortable. All you’re doing is smacking your nuts against someone, and nothing is going in.”
Perhaps someone needs to introduce him to that old Hollywood male nudity mainstay, the cock sock. Although I can imagine there will now be a lot of people volunteering to film sex scenes with Henry.
