Secrets About Steamy Movie Scenes That Directors Do Not Want To Share

Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman in Black Swan

The psychological horror film Black Swan is one of the best of the decade. Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis play two ballet rivals. The two close friends didn't initially realize that they had to have a sex scene together! "It was pretty awkward. I almost feel like it would be easier to do it with someone you didn't know," Portman said. "But, having said that, it was great to have a friend there who, we could laugh and make jokes and get over it together."

Emma Stone and Olivia Coleman in The Favourite

When Emma Stone and Olivia Coleman had to film a sneaky love scene, Coleman actually decided to take a prank on Stone to try and lighten the mood... Stone was pretty nervous, so her plan definitely worked! "I went to makeup and I got a sponge...a big, wet sponge. I put it there as a barrier and told her not to worry about it. So when we were shooting, she was going up my leg and then went 'OH?! [in disgust]' and I was like "Oh no, it's a sponge!"
