Scarlett Johansson got candid about her awkward and “bizarre” sex scene with Joaquin Phoenix.
In the 2013 film “Her,” the actress opened up about how gross it was listening to her fake an orgasm on set.
Johansson revealed Phoenix had a difficult time recording audio for their sex scenes in Spike Jonze’s movie.
The Academy Award nominee pointed out, “You definitely don’t want to hear what you sound like having a fake orgasm.”

“He was like angry… he had already [filmed the scene], he had done it in person, and now he was with me in this weird theater, and I’m in this box, and he was like staring at me, and the lights are low, and Spike is there… it was so bizarre,” Johansson expressed.

The film “Her” is an American science-fiction romantic drama about a lonely writer – played by Phoenix – that developed an unlikely relationship with an artificial intelligence operating system – played by Johansson — designed to meet his needs.
“I haven’t seen that movie in a long time, but I bet if I watched it I would be so mortified,” Johansson reflected on the uncomfortable and awkward situation. “It’s tough.”
