Star of multiple Netflix sex scenes including one with Megan Fox makes honest confession about filming them

An actor who's starred in several steamy sex scenes has opened up about the reality of filming them with co-stars including Megan Fox.

Sex scenes are part and parcel for many actors' careers, but often they aren't as enjoyable to film as they may appear on screen.

Michele Morrone, 35, is best known for his breakout role in 365 Days, as well as its sequel, along with Subservience, and The Housemaid.

Morrone has starred in several sexy scenes - particularly in Polish erotic thriller 365 Days - which follows his character imprisoning his lover and giving her 365 days to fall in love with him.

He also got up close and personal with Megan Fox, who played a humanoid robot his character had hired in 2024's Subservience, with the pair working with director SK Dale, who oversaw the intimate scenes between the two characters.

Morrone's character, Nick, turns to the help of an android assistant after his wife falls sick, employing Fox's character Alice to help him around the home and with looking after his daughter, however, their relationship eventually becomes sexual.

Alice goes as far as to blindfold Nick and use his wife's voice while getting intimate, before she ultimately turns violent.

Director Dale revealed that it was crucial to foster a "safe environment" during filming, telling TooFab that the two female actors would switch places while on top of Morrone, leaving his character's imagination to do the work, adding that it was "like an action sequence and storyboarded it all out."

Intimacy coordinators have also become commonplace on sets where sex scenes are being shot, however, Morrone told Metro he "did not need" one for 365 Days.

He explained: "I did not need an intimacy coordinator to help me... Of course, it’s an important person to have on set for the other actors and for people who work backstage, it helps us all, but personally, no, I don’t need anyone.

"I like to build up a character and a scene the way I imagined it in my mind and how I like to work the script."

Dale praised the work of intimacy coordinators on Subservience, adding: "What I really liked about the intimacy coordinators within the prep of it all was they would ask questions that were story driven.

"Like, 'Okay, how aggressive is this intimate scene? How, how essential is it? Is there kissing? How, if there is kissing, is it kind of pashing [Australian slang for kiss] or just pecking?"

So while that sexy scene may look natural and off-the-cuff, it turns out there's a lot more that goes into it behind the scenes than most would imagine.
