Zendaya speaks out on threesome scene Daniel Craig described as ‘biggest c**k tease in movie history’
Zendaya has spoken out about that raunchy threesome scene.
Now, if you’ve not heard about Zendaya’s movie Challengers (first of all where have you been?) and secondly, let me break it down for you.
It follows a former tennis prodigy-turned-coach named Tashi (Zendaya), who helped turn her husband into a sporting champion. But in order to overcome a sudden losing streak, he now needs to face his ex-best friend and Tashi’s ex-boyfriend.
While the movie has been hailed as an “incredible” watch by lots of social media users, no one can overlook the fact that it also contains a few risqué scenes – including a pearl-clutching threeway kiss.
And let’s just say, Daniel Craig had a lot to say about it.
During a new series of Variety’s ‘Actors on Actors,’ the Casino Royale star shared his thoughts on the raunchy moment with Josh O’Connor.
“And you see a love between the two guys that trumps everything around it,” he said. “I’m just a sucker for it. What else is there?”
O’Connor, who played Patrick in the risqué tennis movie, then said: “I think that’s what was going on in this film: Yes, there’s the tennis backdrop, but the desire these three people had for each other that’s torn apart.
“And there’s an invisible magnet that’s dragging them back together. That was definitely a Luca component that was bubbling underneath,” he added.
Craig then chimed in, stating: “The scene in the hotel room, where they don’t have sex with each other, is the biggest c*** tease in movie history.”
While it may have been a bit of anti-climax, Zendaya previously revealed that she “loved” shooting the intimate scenes with Mike Faist and O’Connor.
Speaking to The Mirror, the actress said: “Tashi is extremely driven. She’s a go-getter and she is totally ruthless. The intimate scenes were so good I loved it. I felt very lucky to be partnered with those guys.”
“And whatever the moment, it always felt like they always had my back and I had theirs. We were so lucky to have a director in Luca Guadagnino who really encouraged us all to collaborate and to bring our own ideas.”
“It was a really exciting creative process,” she added.
