James recently spoke on a podcast about the upcoming Turn Up the Sun in where he did and orgy scene where he was bitten and smashed his knee. Here’s a snippet from the article.
However, a saucy sex scene left James with a “smashed” knee while filming the on-screen orgy. He revealed: “I just did an improvised film which was shot in six days and it’s quite dark and sexual.
“The second last day of filming ended with about nine of us doing an orgy scene. An improvised f***** orgy scene.”
James, speaking on the Restless Natives podcast with Martin Compston and Gordon Smart, added: “It was hardcore dancing, everybody is on drugs, we had all drunk loads of whisky and there was loads of kissing, groping and disrobing.
“There’s this amazing Spanish actor called Almudena Amor and we had to go at it with each other. We had to be funny with it but properly go for it and we were both in the same headspace.”
He went on: “So we get to this improvised orgy and she’s bigger than me, she’s like 5ft 11in. At one point I was holding her upside down and we were doing some weird thing and somebody grabbed me on the back of the neck to start biting my neck.
“I just decked it and smashed my knee real hard on the ground. I think that’s the only time I’ve been injured making a film.”
