British actress Rosamund Pike graces the February 2015 issue of Vanity Fair, looking classic in a white, low-cut top. Mario Testino captured the blonde for the magazine, and inside she opens up about her “Gone Girl” sex scene (spoilers ahead). “I spent more time in front of the camera on that film than in my entire career to date, because he’s shooting five to six hours of footage a day, and over a hundred days shooting that mounts up,” Rosamund tells the publication.
The blonde filmed a disturbingly violent sex scene with Neil Patrick Harris who plays Desi Collings. The scene had to be done 36 times with the set remade with each take. “Think of the 36 showers they had to take, to wash the fake blood off,” contributing editor Sam Kashner writes. “I told them to rehearse it for three days,” director David Fincher tells Kashner, “as we’re pumping five gallons of blood out of Desi’s throat.” It took a week to choreograph with 450 gallons of blood, 36 pairs of underwear and 36 sheets on hand.
