\n\tJosh Hartnett<\/a> shares steamy scenes with Dakota Johnson<\/a> and Anne Hathaway<\/a> on the set of\u00a0Verity<\/a>,\u00a0and to make it happen, they used an intimacy coordinator.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a new interview, Hartnett opened up about how an intimacy coordinator \u201cplayed a big part\u201d in filming the Colleen Hoover novel adaptation.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSo intimacy coordination played a big part, but when you\u2019re working with amazing actors and professionals who understand the wrote and the writ and a director like Michael Showalter who likes to keep things alive and fun on set, we became fast friends, and so all that stuff just felt kind of goofy,\u201d Hartnett said on ABC News Live Prime.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued, \u201cWe laughed a lot on this set and if we were ever to make another movie together it would have to be a comedy, but obviously this one is not so we had to keep a straight face occasionally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tVerity follows renowned author Verity Crawford (Hathaway) and Lowen Ashleigh (Johnson), a struggling writer who relocates to the remote Crawford estate to ghostwrite for Verity. After Lowen uncovers what appears to be Verity\u2019s chilling autobiographical notes, she wrestles with the disturbing and twisted confessions about Verity\u2019s husband Jeremy (Hartnett), and finds it hard to separate fiction from reality, manipulation from attraction, and opportunity from obsession.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn working with Hathaway and Johnson, Hartnett said, \u201cAs I said, we got along really well, and when you get along with people and you have a director who understands what\u2019s needed from you, you can create that chemistry sort of in a way like a puzzle. There are certain things that lead to other things in the narrative that I think build on that chemistry, and we got along really well, so we could play with those dynamics.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHartnett noted that Hathaway and Johnson \u201care both such professional and intentional actors and just really, really talented,\u201d adding, \u201cIt felt like I was in the best possible position to be able to do that with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
