Orlando Bloom discussed his role in the Werner Herzog-directed film “Bucking Fastard” at Spain’s San Sebastián Film Festival, detailing a sincere threesome scene he filmed with real-life sisters Rooney and Kate Mara.
Orlando Bloom and Werner Herzog Discuss the Intimate Scene
During the festival presentation, Bloom characterized the pivotal intimate sequence as a “very sincere sort of moment” that he and his co-stars created together. He noted that the characters possess simple carnal desires combined with an innocence.
Director Werner Herzog, 84, explained his hands-off approach to filming the sequence. According to Variety, Herzog recalled telling Bloom, “You are in bed, and you have two women in your arms. How you deal with it, I cannot give instructions.” Herzog described the resulting footage as beautiful, noting its charm and depth.
The Mara Sisters on Co-Starring in the Feature
“Bucking Fastard” is loosely based on the real lives of British identical twins Freda and Greta Chaplin, who spoke in unison, shared dreams, and loved the same man. Rooney Mara, 41, and Kate Mara, 43, portray the characters in their first on-screen collaboration.
Rooney Mara stated that while playing the same person felt daunting initially, their lifelong history made the portrayal seamless. Kate Mara added that mastering the rhythm of speaking in unison felt musical, noting that Herzog sent them a letter a year prior asking them to join the project.
