Pillion’s Harry Melling has said he was “very comfortable” with having sex scenes with Alexander Skarsgard.  

Pillion follows Harry Potter star Harry Melling as Colin, a meek beta male type who lives in suburban England with his parents, leaving the house mainly for his job as a traffic warden, and to sing with his father in a barbershop quartet. On Christmas Eve, while on a flailing date in the pub, he stumbles into the orbit of Ray, a chiseled, leather-clad and po-faced alpha and biker gang member, played by a surly Alexander Skarsgård.

At the 69th BFI London Film Festival, Melling told PinkNews that he felt at ease during the film’s raved about sex scenes. 

“What was so good about the sex scenes I felt, and why maybe I felt quite comfortable, very comfortable doing them, was it always felt like it was really propelling the relationship forward – the story between Colin, who I play, and Ray, who Alex plays.” 

He continued: “I remember speaking to friends of mine about this story, about what was involved in it, and they were like, ‘Oh wow. Harry. Wow.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, it’s great!’

“But they were brilliant to do and from an acting perspective, wonderful. Really wonderful.” 

As noted by PinkNews’ Marcus Wratten, who reviewed the film: “Of course, the headlines will focus largely on the sex and smut, as there’s plenty of it. But Pillion is more than Skarsgård’s genitals (it seems Lighton is a marketing expert, too) – it’s an exceptional introduction to a filmmaker who has created an audacious addition to queer cinema.” 

Pillion is in cinemas in the UK and Ireland from 28 November.
