The actress told NYLON about understanding Marianne and working with an intimacy coordinator on set.
extroverted, yet brooding Connell. Edgar-Jones opened up about preparing for the role, getting to know Mescal before filming and how working with an intimacy coordinator helped make filming realistic sex scenes in a safe environment possible:: I loved how she had this deep inner life. It's the first time I'd ever read a female character that was so incredibly flawed and complicated.
We were really lucky that we got a couple of weeks rehearsals before we started filming, so we actually got to get to know each other in some capacity. Which was good, because it was a long time to be spending with someone. Sometimes with acting, you meet someone on the first day and then you have to do a scene with them, it's a bit strange. So we were very lucky in that way.
I was a wee bit trepidatious, because I hadn't had any experience with that before and you never really know how it's going to kind of, what it's going to look like. But I always knew that they were really important. They're so beautifully written in the book, and they're a really important part of the story between Marianne and Connell. And we really wanted to do them justice.
I think that's why people really found it quite striking in the series. It shows a depiction of sex that is very real in all its forms. And I think particularly in their first time scene, the fact that Connell was very concerned about consent and they use protection — it's very rare that you see a scene that is both beautiful and tender and sexy, but also has those elements in it. There isn't kind of, billowing sheets and warm candlelight. It's very awkward.
