López spoke with SiriusXM about making ready to film a scene by which Perez’s persona, Alex Claremont-Diaz, bares his in the back of to the camera as he frantically tries to dress himself after he and Henry (Nicholas Galitzine) are present in mattress. Although the scene is brief, it apparently involved a little bit of deliberation between López and Perez. It’s best to hear the tale in López’s phrases:

“I am going into Taylor’s trailer — we’ve been making this film for like, 5, six weeks at this point — and Karen [Hartley, hair and makeup clothier for Red, White, & Royal Blue] appears at Taylor and says, ‘Alright, inform him what you told me.’ And he goes, ‘I don’t know if I will have to shave or no longer.’ I’m like, ‘Your face?’ and he is going, ‘No, babe.’ I’m like, ‘Alright, neatly, what do you wish to have to do about it?’ He is going, ‘Just look, ok?’ So, I had my hair and makeup person there because the chaperone, because I didn’t want my career to end earlier than it began, and Taylor, like, lowers his pants and he’s like, ‘Look at my ass,’ and I’m like, ‘You’re positive, you glance great!'”

This isn’t the first time López has spoken about Red, White, & Royal Blue‘s intimate scenes. The director, who's brazenly gay, has spoken at duration about the movie’s central sex scene. According to López, it was once vital to him to demonstrate authenticity between the 2 leads, and plenty of homosexual reviewers have had specific reward for that side of the film.

Perez’s comfort with López speaks neatly of the production; López notes Perez approached him first, and that they were by no means by myself during the instant. The movie additionally employed intimacy coordinator Robin Taylor Hunt, also an openly gay man, to be sure that its leads had a at ease experience. It’s also simply a funny little reminder that intercourse scenes are extremely un-sexy behind-the-scenes.

Of course, it also showcases the lengths Perez is prepared to visit get the scene right. Not each actor can say they would take a crack at that.
