Sienna Miller was left “shaking with tears” after filming a nine-hour sex scene with Hollywood hunk Ben Affleck.
Back in 2017, the pair topped the bill in 1920s crime drama Live By Night, which saw their characters romp in cars and in bars. Sienna played Emma, an Irish mistress who gets involved with a Boston gangster, while Ben portrayed Joe Coughlin – the son of a policeman who falls for her.
Their partnership included a lot of steamy scenes, but while Sienna had to “leave the room” on several occasions, she insists it wasn’t awkward. She told E! News: “Ben and I are like brother and sister, thank God, so there was no awkwardness.

“There was just a lot of stupid giggling. He’s very professional – I am not, but he is. In that environment, it was a cool scene. There was a montage in the script saying we did it everywhere: in the car, in the bar… I was like: ‘That’s an entire day of just love scenes! OK. How do we do this?'”
She added: “Obviously, by the time nine hours of it has gone past, I was shaking with tears running down my face. I mean, I can’t tell you – but you have to laugh. Ben is just professional. It is what it is.”
Sienna admitted that outtakes must exist from the shots where she “had to walk out of the room” because of the tears streaming down her face. Meanwhile, Ben begged cinematographer Robert Richardson to keep the cameras rolling, so they could film several times without cutting.
Sienna joked she “didn’t know what he’s trying to tell people about his sexual prowess”, but realised Ben was trying to “give himself options” by acting out the scene again and again. She quipped that nobody can do such a “marathon love scene” – except perhaps Affleck.
Ben himself explained: “Sienna thought that I was trying to make myself out to be some kind of world champion, where it just never ended. I just keep going, going, and going again and again.
“She started laughing and I was like, ‘Laughing isn’t really the response that I’m looking for with this.’ She was like, ‘How long can you go? You’re Superman!'”
But for Ben’s other co-stars, including Ryan Reynolds’ wife Blake Lively, romping with the star was nothing but awkward. She confessed: “It wasn’t there to be a gratuitous sex scene for the trailer or to get guys to watch this movie, it’s actually a turn off for the audience, everybody around and for us.

“It’s awkward, it’s unromantic and it’s also very tragic in a lot of ways because these are two people that hate each other and they’re stuck in this rut.” The scenes took place on her “first day of filming”, with Blake admitting in 2008 – two years before shooting the movie – that she’d only ever “kissed three people”.
She went on: “There wasn’t a period in my life [where] I was doing drugs and having sex with my best friend’s boyfriend… I never went through that kind of crazy.”
