Elizabeth Olsen Opens Up About Awkward Love Scenes with Josh Brolin Due to His Daughter

Elizabeth Olsen recently shared her experience working with Josh Brolin on the Spike Lee film ‘Oldboy,' where they found themselves in an uncomfortable situation while filming intimate scenes.

In addition to their collaborations within The Avengers franchise, Olsen and Brolin delved into a more intimate project together.

However, the presence of Brolin's daughter seemed to add a layer of complexity to their on-screen romance.

Recalling her decision to join the Oldboy cast after being captivated by the script, Olsen admitted to feeling a mix of fear and sorrow upon reading the storyline, which left a lasting impact on her emotions.

Director Spike Lee played a significant role in Olsen's comfort during the love scene with Brolin.

Describing Lee as the most collaborative director she had worked with at the time, Olsen emphasized the supportive atmosphere created by the crew and Lee himself.

The candid discussion initiated by Lee about the intimate scene allowed Olsen to express her boundaries and preferences.

While she felt relatively at ease, Olsen speculated that Brolin, being a father to a daughter of similar age to her, might have experienced greater discomfort during the filming process.

Despite the n^de scenes required in Oldboy, Olsen approached them with a sense of purpose and artistic integrity.

Reflecting on her decision to appear n^de on screen, she drew inspiration from other actors, such as Kate Winslet, who had taken similar risks in their careers.

Olsen emphasized that her choice to participate in n^de scenes was always driven by a deep belief in the story being told and its contribution to the narrative.

She viewed n^dty as a tool to enhance storytelling rather than for mere shock value, finding empowerment in the boldness it brought to her performances.

While Olsen navigated the challenges of filming intimate and vulnerable scenes, she also encountered moments that lingered beyond the set.

Recalling a particularly intense scene where her character was attacked, Olsen disclosed the lasting impact it had on her, highlighting the physical and emotional toll that such performances can entail.
