'Babygirl' star Harris Dickinson, 28, opens up about sex scenes with Nicole Kidman, 57, after admitting she had orgasm 'burnout'

“Babygirl” star Harris Dickinson shared how he and co-star Nicole Kidman used an intimacy coordinator to style some of their steamy sex scenes in their new erotic thriller.

“We talked to the intimacy coordinator about it, and then Nicole and I kind of did our own thing after setting the parameters that we were both comfortable with,” Dickinson said in an interview with Variety published Wednesday.

“The intimacy coordinator asks, 'What are you comfortable with, what do you want as a director, what do you want to execute from that vision?' They enable that and do it very carefully without interrupting the actual scene.”

“The nature of this film was that you were either completely vulnerable and exposed, or you were protected and then the thing no longer had any connection.”

The Big Little Lies star continued: “When I met [Director Halina Reijn]and we talked about it, I was like, 'Just give us a safe space,' and then, 'Please don't make me look like an idiot.'”

She continued, “Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I’m never touched again in my life!”
