Emma Thompson on first sex scene with Jeff Goldblum: ‘Two f**king days of being nude!’

The ever-popular actress starred alongside Jeff Goldblum in The Tall Guy, a Richard Curtis romantic comedy. It was one of her first jobs, and it sounds like it left quite the impression. Speaking on the podcast My Dad Wrote A Porno, she revealed why it was a memorable scene.

“My first film… was called The Tall Guy and there was a sex scene in it,” she said.

“Because it was a comedy sex scene, we were s***ging on the piano, we were s***ging in the breakfast things.

“There was shots of my a**e with bits of toast stuck to it.

“Two f***ing days of being nude on set!”

She added: “And when the campaign came out, the Campaign Against Pornography… said that if they were to show their children a sex scene, they would show that one, because it was fun, and funny, and full of humour.

“Because I noticed at the time that all sex scenes, everyone was so angry. They’re angry!

“You look at people’s faces, you look at Basic Instinct. Sharon Stone… livid! So cross!”

The Tall Guy released in 1989 and was directed by Mel Smith, with Rowan Atkinson also in the cast.

It started a hugely successful career for Thompson, who has gone on to become one of our most treasured stars.

She was recently seen in The Children Act and Johnny English Strikes Again; and will soon be in Missing Link, MIB, The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle, Late Night and How To Build A Girl.

Goldblum, meanwhile, has turned his hand to music: The Capitol Studio Sessions is his debut jazz collection, and sees him teaming up with the likes of Haley Reinhart and Sarah Silverman.

The record has so far peaked at No26 in the UK charts.
