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.
