In a recent interview, the 35-year-old actor said that the Danish director, Susanne Bier, motivated him to shoot the scene time and again as she felt it was not “sexy enough,” reports Channel 24.

The Crimson Peak actor, who played spy Jonathan Pine in the BBC One crime thriller, upped the oomph quotient when he grabbed his co-star Elizabeth Debicki and made passionate love to her up against a wall in the steamy sequence.
