Jane Seymour, known for her various roles throughout her career, including her seductive character in Wedding Crashers, recently revealed a peculiar strategy she employed to make intimate scenes less uncomfortable.
During the filming of the 1973 film Live and Let Die, in which she played the Bond girl Solitaire, Seymour’s co-star Roger Moore came up with an idea to help ease her discomfort before shooting their bedroom scene.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Seymour shared her experience working with Moore, who portrayed the iconic James Bond.
She mentioned that Moore had a talent for making her laugh uncontrollably, to the point where they had to utilize body doubles for a scene because they couldn’t contain their laughter.
Specifically, during a train scene towards the end of the film, Seymour struggled to deliver a particular line due to their incessant giggling.
For the bedroom scene, Moore suggested something rather repulsive to make the atmosphere less appealing.
Seymour recounted that during lunch, Moore jokingly proposed they have liver and onions, but to her surprise, he actually ordered it to ensure its unappealing nature.
Although perplexed by his suggestion, Seymour appreciated Moore’s ability to bring laughter into the situation.
Despite their efforts, the love scene still proved nerve-racking, embarrassing, and far from s**y.
However, Seymour did commend Moore as a skilled and considerate kisser, even though their on-screen chemistry didn’t involve any exceptionally steamy moments.
In a poignant twist, Seymour revealed that she had a conversation with Moore just a few months before his passing in 2017 due to cancer.
During an appearance on the talk show Loose Women, she shared that they spoke for approximately 40 minutes, discussing a wide range of topics.
The unique approach taken by Jane Seymour and Roger Moore to create a more comfortable environment for their love scenes in Live and Let Die demonstrates the lengths actors go to ensure the authenticity of their performances.
Seymour’s recollections of her time working with Moore serve as a tribute to their shared experiences and the lasting impact he had on her life.
