Maisie Williams reveals what her first sex scene was like and how she prepared her cast mates in the movie ‘The Falling’.
Maisie Williams, the actor known for playing one of ‘Game of Thrones’ leading characters, recently wrapped production on the upcoming movie ‘The Falling’, a film about sexual education at an all-girls school in the 1960s. In the film, her character loses her virginity. According to her it was an extremely awkward experience.
In an interview with Vulture, Maisie Williams said:
It was extremely awkward! But [co-star] Joe [Cole] was very sensitive to the fact that I had never done a scene like this before, and it was great to work with someone who was so considerate of that. We went out for a couple of lunches and stuff just to get to know each other, and we had days of rehearsal where we’d get to know our characters and spend a couple of hours with each other. So I knew him quite well, and we got along quite well. It all paid off in the end.
She said she also served as a kind of an acting coach for younger girls on the set, since she was the most experienced actress. “I didn’t want to boast or anything, but it can be scary if you’re not exposed to [film sets],” she said. “People are talking to you and you have no idea what they’re speaking about, or what they mean. It was important to make sure they all felt comfortable, so I answered their questions as much as I could.”
