Did they or didn’t they? The racy blockbusters that sparked rumours stars romped for real… and sometimes for good reason

IT was a raunchy year for film in 2024 with many critics around the globe hailing the return of the 'bonkbuster'. We've seen sex scenes aplenty in 2024 with hits like Nicole Kidman's Babygirl, which was labelled "tremendously horny" by one reviewer, leading the charge.

That film and others including Emma Stone's Poor Things and Kirsten Stewart's Love Lies Bleeding, have all been thanked for finally ending the dry spell. Earlier this year, The Sun's film critic Dulcie Pearce said: “Banging is back on the big screen and I am delighted.

"Having watched hundreds of caped crusaders and violent gun battles, it seemed one of the most natural acts in the world had become more extinct than the T-Rex. “Even a snog became a rarity. But now the on-screen orgasm has come back into fashion, with top actors like Nicole Kidman and Emma Stone happy to strip for the scenes. And thank goodness they’re taking the reins on bringing sexy back.”.

While every movement in today's raunchy Hollywood films is carefully scripted with an intimacy coordinator, that hasn't always been the case. There are a number of racy films from the past where the actors have actually got down and dirty on set - and some which were just so realistic they sparked false rumours of real sex.

Vincent Gallo not only starred in 2004's The Brown Bunny but he also directed, wrote, and produced the flick too. The film, which had mixed reviews, centres on a man who travels across the country on his motorcycle to find women to replace the void left by his one true love, played by Chloë Sevigny.
