Laura Dern has found a lifelong friend in Lonely Planet costar Liam Hemsworth.
In fact, the actress considers him to be “literally the safest person I could ever talk through everything in my life with,” including their approach to sex scenes for their Netflix movie.
“By the time we were doing those scenes, there was nothing we couldn’t talk about together and work out creatively, professionally, all of that,” Laura told People in an interview published Oct. 11. “But we also had a lot of support. We had much, much discussion.”
Calling herself “so lucky” to work with Liam, the Big Little Lies star also acknowledge how an intimacy coordinator on set made the pair feel comfortable about setting boundaries. As the 57-year-old noted, “We both, as young actors, have had a lot of other kinds of experiences on movies.”
Likewise, Liam, 34, said he was “completely immersed” in the experience of filming the romantic flick, which centered around a May-December relationship between an author and a finance manager while traveling abroad.
