Nicole Kidman's co-star has spoken out about the 'embarrassing' sex scenes in their new erotic thriller.

In case you've somehow missed the news, Kidman is starring opposite Harris Dickinson in Babygirl - which features some very steamy moments.

Watch the trailer below:

Kidman stars as high-powered CEO Romy who is successful at work but frustrated in a loveless marriage. However she becomes captivated by younger intern Samuel (Dickinson), leading to the pair embarking on a very NSFW affair. Not one to watch with your parents.

Big Little Lies star Kidman hasn't been shy about opening up on what it was like to film the intimate moments behind-the-scenes, revealing in recent interviews that the Halina Reijn-directed flick felt like 'something you do and hide in your home videos' which left her feeling 'very exposed'.

Now, Where the Crawdads Sing actor Dickinson has spoken about how he felt acting out the explicit moments, revealing how one particular moment left him feeling 'embarrassed'.

"We’d have a discussion with the intimacy coordinator and then Nicole and I kind of did our own thing with it once we set the parameters of what we were both comfortable with," Dickinson said during a recent interview with Variety.

Explaining how the film's intimacy co-ordinator Lizzie Talbot was able to make sure their steamy scenes went smoothly, he continued: "The intimacy coordinator is saying, 'What are you comfortable with, what do you want as a director, what are you comfortable doing from that vision?' They're facilitating that and doing it very delicately without interrupting the actual scene."

However their was one moment which Dickinson felt particularly embarrassed to film, one which involved near-naked dancing and George Michael.

"Halina put the song and said, 'Just dance'. So I just had a little groove," he recalled.

"Maybe I had a little whiskey before. But it was embarrassing."

Kidman recently shared some further insight into how the scenes were shot, telling PEOPLE that there needed to be 'an enormous amount of trust' between her and Dickinson.

"We would look at each other and go 'okay'. I've always been on a quest as an actor, I'm always going, where have I not been? And what can I explore as a human being? And this was an area I'd never been," she explained.

"There's a sort of a jump off the cliff thing where you go, okay, I'm just going to abandon everything and explore this with the people that I trust in a genre that is already set, but hopefully we can explore new territory and especially with the female at the helm."

Kidman also added: "There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm any more. Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life! I’m over it."

Babygirl releases on Christmas Day - and will be available to watch in UK cinemas from 10 January.
