Charles Melton had to wear a prosthetic penis for nine hours to shoot his sex scene with Natalie Portman in 'May December'.
The 32-year-old actor stars in the Netflix drama film opposite the 'Black Swan' actress, and he has revealed that the sequence was far from romantic to film because of the rubber appendage required for the cameras.
Charles branded the fake manhood as "annoying" to wear because he wasn't allowed to have a drink so he wouldn't have to remove it to urinate.
Speaking to Variety, he shared: "There were a few conversations about the prosthetic, regarding what was realistic and what wasn't.
"And I had to wear that prosthetic for nine hours that day. I didn't have anything to drink that morning or the night before. That was an annoying process but still very respectful.”
The movie follows Joe Yoo (Melton) who has a sexual relationship with 36-year-old Gracie Atherton-Yoo (played by Julian Moore) when he was just 13 when the pair both worked in a pet store. Their story eventually ends up on the front covers of tabloid newspapers and Gracie is jailed for having sex with a minor.
Tasked to prepare to portray Gracie in an upcoming movie about the scandal, actress Elizabeth Berry (Portman) interviews both Gracie and Joe - who, 23 years later, are married with three children, one of whom was born from the teenage affair - and ends up having an affair with Joe.
Although the drama includes sex scenes, Natalie, 42, recently vowed to never bare her breasts on screen.
Appearing on 'The Drew Barrymore Show', the Oscar winner was asked what she would never do for a role.
She replied: "Show my boobs? Is that really prude?
"I’m just always like, ‘I don’t want my kids to see pictures online.’”
