These are not his best memories of filming.
During an interview with
Harper's Bazaar
magazine on Wednesday, April 6, actress Alicia Vikander revealed that she didn't always feel "protected" when performing sex scenes.
Michael Fassbender's wife added: 'The intimacy coaches that now exist on set should have existed at the start of my career' because it's the 'worst thing ever to film'.
Intimacy coordinators only became the norm in the movie industries after the Me Too movement and the Harvey Weinstein scandal in 2017. Their job is to oversee the conduct of sex scenes and deal with any situations that might put uncomfortable artists.

According to the 33-year-old actress: "I'm very comfortable with my body and I've done several nudity and sex scenes, but it's never easy."
Before adding: “The only thing that cannot be improvised is an intimate scene.
You have to do a choreography and stick to it”.
In 2019, still in the American magazine, the mother of Mark Fassbender, 8 months, confided in his “one-taker” technique, namely performing a scene in only one take.
A method that she favors for sequences involving nudity: “I warn the team that it is a “one-taker”.
That way, everyone on set is on the alert."
Trauma
If the interpreter of Lara Croft in the action film
Tomb Raider
(2018), confided on this subject to
Harper's Bazaar,
it is because an event in particular traumatized her during one of his shoots: “Everyone was busy doing their own thing and in the middle you have an actor who sits naked for a few hours because the person who is supposed to bring him a dressing gown never comes.
It comes after, and it was not good.
I should have been taken care of”, explained Alicia Vikander.

Tulip Fever
(2017), by Justin Chadwick with actor Dane DeHaan, the last feature film released by The WeinsteinCompany.
As well as
Earthquake Bird
(2019) with actor Naoki Kobayashi and directed by Wash Westmoreland, a thriller available on Netflix.
