One great challenge he(Benedict) had to face during filming was the shooting of his first-ever on screen sex scene, with actress Paula Jennings, playing the luscious Zenobia.
“My on-screen sex technique is not perfected but I hope it worked! In the book, Edmund knows what he’s doing and maybe that’s him writing himself up in his journal as a bit of a lothario, but I imagine that rather like others of his ilk his father had probably given him a chambermaid or prostitute to initiate him.
”He behaves with Zenobia like a sexual animal: he’s very avaricious and knowing. He’s charming and flirts with her from the first day he sees her and he goes straight for the kill.”
After reading this article I decided that I should rewatch To the Ends of the Earth. Because I didn’t remember if his sex scene here was ‘perfected’ or not. So, well. Um.
SEX
this.
