Alicia Vikanderhas a strict single-take policy when it comes to shooting sex scenes.
The Oscar winner, 31, says she approaches steamy onscreen situations much like a dancer would choreography, staging the sequences so that it’s completely methodical and comfortable for the actors and crew members involved.
“I probably did my first sex scene at 20 and it’s always been technical, as it should be,” Vikander recentlytoldHarper’s Bazaar U.K..“It should never be anything but technical.”
Insisting the scenes are completed on the first run-through, Vikander — who’s married to fellow actorMichael Fassbender, 42 — says her personal rule ensures everyone is focused on efficiency with the job at hand.
“I tell the crew it’s a one-taker,” the former dancer said, “that way, everybody on set is on point because you have to get it done in one take.”
