“Gone Girl” star Rosamund Pike on why rehearsing sex scene with Neil Patrick Harris was awkward

Gone Girl’s leading lady Rosamund Pike has a sex scene with Neil Patrick Harris in the highly-anticipated thriller opening Friday.

While the actual shooting of the scene was ‘remarkably normal’ the actress says things got a bit awkward before that.

Director David Fincher instructed Harris and Pike to spend two hours rehearsing their scene on an empty soundstage.

‘That is when it feels highly inappropriate,’ Pike told Seth Meyers this week.’You are alone with a man who is not your husband, who also has a husband. He’s in his underwear, you’re in your underwear and you’re sort of dry humping on a bed.’

(Harris and David Burtka were married in Italy over the summer)

The pair thought it would be professional if they tried to shoot some of their rehearsal on an iPhone but said it ended up seeming like they were just making ‘some sort of super creepy porn video.’

Laughing, Pike said things ‘went from mildly inappropriate to sort of totally inappropriate’ when they called Fincher in to check their work and he brought leading man Ben Affleck in with him.

Joked Meyer: ‘I kind of want to see that whole movie.’
