Dickinson's Wild Ride: Filming Sex Scenes with Kidman in "Babygirl"
We all know Dickinson for its quirky take on the life of Emily Dickinson. But did you know that actress Hailee Steinfeld also starred in a seriously steamy movie alongside Nicole Kidman? It’s true.
The "Babygirl" Experience
"Babygirl" is a movie that explores the complex relationship between a young woman, played by Steinfeld, and her older lover, portrayed by the ever-talented Kidman. The movie’s plot is a bit of a wild ride, and the sex scenes are pretty intense. Let’s just say they are not for the faint of heart.
How Did It All Go Down?
Steinfeld recently revealed that filming the sex scenes with Kidman was pretty challenging. She admitted feeling a little overwhelmed at first. “I was like, ‘Oh my god, Nicole Kidman, I’m going to be on set with you?’” Steinfeld recalled. “I was so nervous!”
The actress also mentioned that the director, Rose Glass, created a really safe and supportive environment for both her and Kidman. She even shared a funny anecdote about getting advice from Kidman on how to tackle a particularly challenging scene. “I was freaking out a little, and Nicole just looked at me and said, ‘Just do it, girl! You got this!’” Steinfeld recounted with a laugh.
Beyond the Bedroom
While the sex scenes may have been intense, they were just one element of the overall story. "Babygirl" is more than just a movie about a controversial relationship. It’s a film about power dynamics, identity, and finding your voice in a world that’s constantly trying to tell you who you should be.
Steinfeld's Journey
Through her role in "Babygirl," Steinfeld took a big step outside her comfort zone and embraced a character who is far from the sweet Emily Dickinson we know and love. This experience helped Steinfeld grow as an actress, showing that she’s willing to take on challenging roles and push her limits.
The Takeaway
"Babygirl" might not be for everyone, but it certainly shows that Hailee Steinfeld is a talented actress who's ready to take on anything. She’s a force to be reckoned with, and we’re excited to see what she does next.
