Jacob Elordi has shared his surprising take on filming steamy Wuthering Heights sex scenes with his stunning co-star Margot Robbie.
The duo star as the tragic Heathcliff and Cathy in the new film which is full of raunchy moment between the pair.
Jacob, 28, has now said that the capturing the intimate moments is no different to choreographing fight or dance sequences and that it is ‘super technical’.
He told The Sun of the scenes: ‘It’s like, ‘Action’ and it’s like a horse at the race track – straight out of the gates. It’s no different to choreographing a fight scene or a dance sequence.
‘It’s super technical, especially the scene where, it’s not a sex scene, but where I’m on top [of Margot] with my hands – that’s choreographed because, in that kind of light, you only have so much space to move.
‘So what you do has to fit in the frame and work with the lighting.’

It’s been an epic worldwide promotional trip for Wuthering Heights stars Margot and Jacob in recent weeks.
The pair wrapped up their much-scrutinised press tour while home in Queensland for yet another viewing earlier this month.
The Australian pair made a surprise appearance at a cinema in Brisbane for their 16th screening of the film on February 15.
They play Cathy and Heathcliff in British director Emerald Fennell’s take on Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel.
Film fans are already hailing the sweeping period drama as the ‘movie of the year’, as they took to social media to share their thoughts on the moving plot, admitting they ‘cried their eyes out’.
Set against the wild Yorkshire moors, the passionate love story explores the intense and destructive relationship between Cathy and Heathcliff.
Speaking before the release, director Emerald, 40, revealed she was actively hoping audiences would have such an intense reaction.
She told Time Out: ‘I want lots of snogging [in the cinema]. I think whatever you can get away with – sorry, Cineworld.

Are intimate scenes in films needed or just unnecessary for modern audiences?
Jacob, 28, has now said that the capturing the intimate moments is no different to choreographing fight or dance sequences and that it is ‘super technical’
He told The Sun of the scenes: ‘It’s like, ‘Action’ and it’s like a horse at the race track – straight out of the gates. It’s no different to choreographing a fight scene or a dance sequence’
He added: ‘It’s super technical, especially the scene where, it’s not a sex scene, but where I’m on top [of Margot] with my hands (seen) – that’s choreographed because, in that kind of light, you only have so much space to move’
‘There will be some of that, there will also be a lot of people having to be carried out because they’re crying so much.
‘I really love seeing movies where people have a visceral experience. I think screaming and laughing and crying and gasping, we want a connected experience.’
It comes as Jacob has stormed into the lead as the favourite to replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond.
His surging popularity appears to have impacted his odds at becoming the next James Bond.
Despite his shot for the part previously being at just 14/1, Jacob is now the favourite to replace Daniel Craig in the role for the next movie.
After the release of Wuthering Heights last Friday, Jacob now holds odds of 5/4 – toppling previous favourite, English actor Callum Turner whose odds have drifted from 7/10 to 6/4.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Theo James round off the top four in the running.
Wuthering Heights had an extremely successful opening weekend raking in US$76.8million (£56million) at the global box office.
