While speaking with Variety‘s Marc Malkin, Hudson revealed the blow job scene, while his character is on the phone with his friend/teammate Hayden Pike, was somewhat improvised.
“Yeah, to a degree. Connor and I were kind of goofing off in the makeup trailer, which was a cottage that was a two-minute drive away from that cottage, getting ready,” he shared. “I was preparing my monologue the whole morning. I’m prepping it, working it. Then Connor, being the great scene partner he is, he was like, ‘I’ll be here doing this.’ Then he did something and we were hitting each other, goofing off. Then he’s hitting me, hitting me and he did this slap.”
“I was filming myself on my phone doing this. I was like, ‘Do that again.’ I couldn’t hold in my laughter because it was so brilliant. It’s so funny, and it makes sense for where they’re at in the story,” Hudson continued. “I remember showing that to the intimacy coordinator. She was cackling. She’s like, ‘You have to do that.’ Then Jacob was like, ‘Go for it. Go crazy.’ The first take was the first time I broke broke because Connor is taking all the liberties. I am shoving him. I’m slapping him back. I’m putting the phone away to get in the gasps and moans. I’m so happy with how that scene turned out.”
If you missed it, Connor previously opened up about them improvising during the intimate moments and scenes.
