Saoirse Ronan has revealed that she felt very comfortable performing sex scenes for Mary Queen of Scots with her rumoured boyfriend Jack Lowden.
The Ladybird actress mentioned that she and Jack looked after each other during the whole process after theyve reportedly struck up a romance.
We choreographed the whole thing so it felt like a dance, she explained.
Jack and I are very comfortable with each other. We looked after each other.
The 24-year-old added: I dont think hed ever done anything like that before either. It was new territory for both of us.
She explained: Id done sex scenes but theyre so mechanical that theyre kind of easy to do. Whereas when its on your face like that…

I just kept thinking about, what was it, When Harry Met Sally, she admitted. But we had Wayne [McGregor, the films choreographer] in there, which was brilliant.
Saoirse explained that the sex scene is essential to the story and ended up being empowering AF.
They lived in a time when sexuality and sex was quite a fluid thing. Sex was a separate thing from marriage, she said. As a queen, though, sex was performed in order to produce an heir.
What was so great about having that moment when Henry (Jack) goes down on her is that its purely for her.
Thats a sexual revelation purely for her.
Its not to perform her duty, its not to give anything back to anyone else or to the state, she pointed out.
It was just another element to her humanity.
Jack, 24, is most well known for his role in Dunkirk.
Neither of the pair have confirmed theyre together, but theyve reportedly struck up a secretive romance after playing onscreen lovers, being spotted looking incredibly close recently

An insider observed: Jack was following her all over. He even followed her to the bathroom and was waiting outside for her. They were very close.
The movie is due for release later this month, and we definitely cant wait to see the chemistry.
