As per Mortensen, the director called up his wife and told her to come on down to the set. David Cronenberg undressed in public alongside his wife and they started imitating the raunchy scene while guiding Viggo Mortensen and Maria Bello on how to act out the scene.

“David, trying to be helpful, as usual, thought it might be a good idea to call up his wife and have her come down to the set. The crew and Maria and I just sat and watched while he and his wife got into something comfortable – nothing – and they started to say, ‘We want you to [do this[.’ Maria and I were both going, ‘Ok, we get it,’”

The Green Book actor further continued,

“This is a testament to their relationship, they kept going and they kept going and then we broke for lunch and some time in the evening Maria and I got to have a crack at it. Instead of putting us at ease, we actually were kind of freaked out…Maybe some things ought to stay private,”

The actor is currently attached to a thriller movie that will reportedly depict the death of John F. Kennedy from a mob’s point of view.
