Behind the Scenes: Jackson White’s Sex Scene

Jackson White recently entertained listeners with a hilarious behind-the-scenes story from the set of his Hulu series, Tell Me Lies, drawing plenty of laughs and likely capturing the internet's attention. In a lively episode of his parents' podcast, Slice of Pie, he revealed the unique concept of "sex weeks" on set, where an intimacy coordinator was brought in to oversee the filming of numerous sex scenes throughout the day.

White described how, during these busy filming periods, he often found himself waiting in his trailer while other cast members engaged in their scenes. He humorously recounted that he received some unexpected feedback about his performance, specifically regarding his technique. The studio expressed concerns that he was "not thrusting right," prompting laughter from his parents, Katey Sagal and Kurt Sutter. They explained that the scenes needed to look more realistic, which led to requests for him to refine his movements.

The studio also took issue with a particular "body roll" White was incorporating into his performance. They advised him to keep it more stationary to enhance the authenticity of the scenes. It was a lighthearted moment that highlighted the quirky side of Hollywood's production process.

The second season of Tell Me Lies premiered on September 4 on Hulu and wrapped up last week. This series, adapted from Carola Lovering's 2018 novel, intricately explores a tumultuous relationship over eight years, adding depth to the personal anecdotes shared by White. His playful storytelling not only showcased the lighter side of filming but also reflected the challenges actors face in bringing authenticity to their roles.
