Alexander Skarsgård has opened up about his new film Pillion, and how the movie’s much-hyped sex scenes differ from other projects he’s appeared in over the years.

Speaking to Variety about making the film in an interview published earlier this week, Alexander reflected on how he and Harry worked with intimacy coordinator Robbie Taylor Hunt to ensure that these sex scenes felt real in their awkwardness.
