Jackson White Discusses Filming Sex Scenes on Hulu Series

Jackson White, the star of Hulu's 'Tell Me Lies,' revealed on his parents' podcast that he received feedback about his performance during sex scenes, specifically being told he was 'not thrusting right.' The actor discussed the unique 'sex weeks' on set, where multiple intimate scenes were filmed with the guidance of an intimacy coordinator. He humorously recalled being critiqued for not looking realistic, with suggestions to be 'more stationary' instead of doing a 'body roll.' White, who plays Stephen DeMarco opposite his real-life girlfriend Grace Van Patten, noted the awkwardness of filming intimate scenes while surrounded by crew members. He emphasized that working with Van Patten made him feel comfortable, despite the show's steamy content. The second season of 'Tell Me Lies' premiered in September 2023, but Hulu has not yet confirmed a third season.
