Director David Yates (the man behind the final four Harry Potter films) has revealed that Margot Robbie – who plays Jane opposite Alexander Skarsgård’s Tarzan – may have got a bit carried away during the filming of a sex scene.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Yates recalled: “They’re doing this love scene together, and I said [to Robbie], ‘Just slap Alex while you’re making love, just kind of give him a punch.’
New film The Legend of Tarzan may not be doing the box office business that all involved were hoping for, but at least the film’s leads came away with a few good anecdotes.
It was sort of an earthy, sensual moment of her enjoying sex with Alex, and the only bruise he picked up during the entire shoot was probably that punch from Margot.
