Kate Winslet’s Co-Star Left Her With ‘Lots Of Bruises’ After X-Rated Scene
Kate Winslet is said to have been left with ‘lots of bruises’ following an X-rated scene with a co-star.
The actress starred alongside Hollywood actor Patrick Wilson in a 2006 film that follows an unhappy housewife (Winslet) who has an affair with a married neighbor (Wilson) while living in suburban Boston.
Although the film was not a box office success, it received praise from critics and Oscar nominations, including Best Actress for Winslet.
Many who’ve seen the movie will remember one particularly raunchy scene between the actress and her co-star, which is said to have left Winslet with ‘lots of bruises.’
The infamous scene was shot long before the days of intimacy coordinators – professionals who assist actors in performing intimate scenes safely and comfortably.
It featured Winslet and Wilson in the nude, although they wore modesty coverings out of view.
When appearing on The Hollywood Reporter’s It Happened in Hollywood podcast, Wilson revealed that he would receive looks from moms after filming the racy scene.
“I would be at the playground, basically being Brad. I remember a few times getting looks from women that are like, ‘Why do I know you?’ And then you’d see them get all flustered like, ‘Oh – that’s why I remember him,'” he said.
“And it got to a point where where I could just say, ‘Are you thinking about the laundry room scene right now?'”
The laundry room scene shows Winslet and Wilson’s characters finally succumbing to their attraction for one another and having vigorous s**.
“[Kate] was so cool and gracious and just a gamer – just like, ‘Let’s go for it,'” Wilson recalled.
“There was never one awkward or weird moment. Never one. I loved it.”
Addressing rumors that Winslet bruised her backside during this sequence, Wilson said: “I’m sure there were lots of bruises.
“Put it this way: I haven’t done a scene like that since post-#MeToo and intimacy coordinators.”
He added: “I do feel a little bit like a dinosaur when it comes to [having appeared in] those kind of love scenes.”
At the time of Little Children‘s release, Winslet said: “We rehearsed the scene fully clothed, without anyone in the room; just us and Todd, and we just got a general shape of the scene so we knew what to expect.
“We did look out for each other, and we laughed a hell of a lot. It sounds ridiculous, but at a certain point, you forget that you’re naked with a relative stranger.”
She added: “My hips and backside really hurt the next day.”
In recent years, Winslet has shared her praise for intimacy coordinators and admitted she’d wish they were there ‘every single time I had to do a love scene or be partially naked or even a kissing scene.’
Chatting with The New York Times Magazine, the Titanic star explained: “I would have benefited from an intimacy coordinator every single time I had to do a love scene or be partially naked or even a kissing scene.
“It would have been nice to have had someone in my corner because I always had to stand up for myself.”
Winslet acknowledged that there had been occasions in her career where she’d wanted to take a stand but felt unable to.
She gave the example: “I don’t like that camera angle. I don’t want to stand here full-frontal nude. I don’t want this many people in the room. I want my dressing gown to be closer.”
The actress said she feared being labelled as difficult to work with, adding: “When you’re young, you’re so afraid of p***ing people off or coming across as rude or pathetic because you might need those things.
“So, learning to have a voice for oneself in those environments was very, very hard.”
