HBO’s Looking has never skimped on its sex scenes, and that doesn’t look set to change, with star Jonathan Groff promising that the upcoming movie finale includes his “most intense sex scene yet.”
Speaking to SiriusXM’s Michelangelo Signorile about the upcoming scene, Groff quipped: “You know, we just put strap on those anal covers and go to town, like we always do!”
“When you first get there and you take off the robes and you’re in your weird little dick sock and your anal cover, there’s usually some, like, laughter,” he explained of filming the more intimate moments on the show. “And then we sort of talk about what is happening in the scene. And we sort of do a rehearsal with our shorts on or whatever. And then we do it.”
“I find [sex scenes] really fun and enjoyable and funny and weird and hilarious and a great opportunity to share a lot about characters,” he continued. “And there’s no words, so it’s an interesting thing to act. But I’ve never done a sex scene with someone who smells bad or I didn’t like something about them. That would be terrible. That’s the benefit I’ve had. I’ve never done a sex scene with someone that has not been so respectful and great about smelling fine and making it as palatable as possible.”
Of the upcoming scene, which features a Patrick who has “grown up a bit,” Groff wouldn’t say much – not even who it was with. “Patrick has had a lot of sexual hang-ups,” was about all he’d reveal. “And now he doesn’t.”
As for what else he’s been up to, Groff just happened to meet Beyonce and Jay Z after a performance of Broadway show Hamilton, in which he plays King George III.
“I was just so excited that she and Jay Z were even in the audience,” Groff said. “She spoke very specifically to everybody about their performances and things that she noticed, and whatever, and she specifically talked about this walk that I do when I walk out onstage, and [she] imitated it. And then she talked about this exit move I do. And what was amazing about it was just knowing that Beyonce is watching. It makes sense because she’s Beyonce, and like, she’s incredible, to put it mildly. And just to know that she’s watching with such careful — she’s really watching.”
