Although Scarlett Johansson did not appear in any scene of 'Her', she provided the voice for that film, in which Joaquin Phoenix starred. But it was uncomfortable.
Joaquin Phoenix couldn't bear to record the scenes, which he had to achieve verbally with Scarlett Johansson's voice, for the movie 'Her'. The actress recently revealed what the or**sm recordings were like for the film, where both actors had to fake it.
The film, which stars Joaquin Phoenix, was released in 2013 and just a year later, Scarlett Johansson received an Oscar for the film, as she provided her voice in the production. However, according to the actress' revelations, her castmate could not bear to record the scenes.
The film tells the link between 'Theodore Twombly', starring Joaquin Phoenix, and 'Samantha'; by Scarlett Johansson. However, the actress only provided the voice for the film, since her character was an artificial intelligence virtual assistant.
Apparently, they chose Scarlett Johansson, as they needed a seductive female voice, although the actress does not physically appear at any point in the film. For his part, Joaquin Phoenix apparently became uncomfortable with the scenes, since it was not easy to record the encounters.
What did Scarlett Johansson declare?
In an interview on the 'Armchair Expert podcast, Scarlett Johansson revealed some details about 'Her', where she mentioned that it was not a conventional production. Likewise, the actress detailed what it was like for her to film the verbal s*x scenes, along with Joaquin Phoenix.
“We tried to do it in one take and he was like losing his mind. He left the studio. He needed a break,” the actress explained.
It should be noted that for these scenes, Scarlett Johansson and Joaquin Phoenix needed to be in the same studio, as they had to record their moans together. This is how the actress added in the interview that faking or**sms for the film came to seem very strange to her.
"Nobody really enjoys hearing their own voice, let alone the sound it makes during moments of intim@cy. The last thing anyone wants to experience is the auditory rendition of a simulated climax. It's quite unpleasant and rather peculiar," she explained.
As expected, the characters of Scarlett Johansson and Joaquin Phoenix manage to have an or**sm within the film. Although it was very particular because she was just a machine.
