‘The Safest Person’: Laura Dern Praises Co-Star Liam Hemsworth Over Intimacy Scenes
Laura Dern, 57, has expressed her gratitude for collaborating with Liam Hemsworth, 34, in their recent film “Lonely Planet.” In an interview with People magazine, she described him as “literally the safest person I could ever confide in about everything in my life.” Dern noted that by the time they were filming intimate scenes, there was nothing they couldn’t discuss and resolve creatively and professionally. The positive influence of having an intimacy coordinator on set was also highlighted, with Dern stating, “We had ample support. We engaged in extensive discussions.”
The intimacy coordinator plays a crucial role in assisting actors with any intimate scenes, including kissing, physical contact, and simulated sexual activities. Their responsibilities include planning, choreographing, and communicating with both the actors and the production team to ensure that everyone involved feels secure and at ease throughout the entire process.
Dern also mentioned the significant changes in the film industry, stating it is “incredible that filmmaking has evolved to a point where everyone can express their opinions and establish boundaries without the fear of jeopardizing their careers or facing disfavor.” Both Dern and Hemsworth have had various experiences on film sets, and their collaboration in “Lonely Planet” has been praised for its comfort and professionalism.
