Ryan Reynolds found shooting all day sex scene in Deadpool 'horrifying'

Many of us may dream about being close to an A-lister, but not Ryan Reynolds.

The Deadpool actor has admitted that he found filming sex scenes with Morena Baccarin ‘horrifying’ and described them as ‘not as titillating' as fans would expect.

Even more shockingly, Morena wasn’t a fan of their love scenes either and has previously spoken about her awkward interaction with her co-star.

Despite Baccarin being the envy of many Marvel fans when she played love interest Vanessa, she admitted that she hated kissing the Wrexham F.C owner.

In a 2018 interview with People magazine, she revealed that the mask Reynolds wore whilst playing the scarred merc-with-a-mouth reeked of rubber throughout the shoot.

The MCU actor joked that it was like kissing ‘a giant latex condom’ as she spoke about filming the final scenes for the first Deadpool film, where the couple are reunited.

Continuing, she then quipped: "It basically just smells like rubber the entire time."

Whilst no one would blame her for being put off by the smell, Baccarin did say that her co-star had tried his best to make things more bearable on set.

Back in 2015, the Gotham actor told Collider that Reynolds had helped her laugh through any awkwardness.

"[T]here's a lot of laughing. And that stuff is always uncomfortable," she revealed, adding: "But, we made the best of it."

She wasn’t the only one who struggled on set though, as Reynolds dubbed their earlier sex scenes ‘horrifying’.

It’s after the pair had to film a sex scene montage which hilariously shows Vanessa and merc Wade celebrating various holidays in, um, style.

Due to the intense filming schedule, all the scenes featured in the short clip had to be filmed across a single day – which just so happened to be one of the hottest of the year.

The rapid costumes and set changes meant the actors felt pretty gross by the end of the day, with Reynolds telling The Fix: “It's not as titillating as it is just sort of funny and horrifying at times.”

Whilst the Canadian actor had nothing but kind words for his co-star, the actor-turned-football club owner would rather forget the sweaty scenes.

Describing the scene as 'a rather large, grandiose sex montage', Reynolds told the news outlet: “It was a year's worth of sex in one day…. which sounds a lot more romantic than it is, trust me.”
