2026 movie schedule<\/a> about a fisherwoman marrying and falling in love with a man made out of wicker, does not shy away from the couple\u2019s intimate relationship. So, naturally, when a romance involves a human woman and a man made out of such a potentially prickly material, questions about whether she\u2019ll get splinters come up. Well, as the internet wondered and debated about that, we asked Olivia Colman<\/a> and Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd<\/a> about it.<\/p>\n

People Were Worried About The Potential Splinters The Fisherwoman Could Get<\/p>\n

The trailer for this movie certainly highlights the point many critics made in their reviews of Wicker<\/a>, which is: it\u2019s horny. It\u2019s spicy. It\u2019s romantic. That harlequin romance cover-like poster<\/a> proves that too. So, considering all this, it makes sense that many of the comments on the film\u2019s trailer were in regard to whether the Fisherwoman would get splinters from the Wicker Husband when they were having sex:<\/p>\n

First thought – wouldn\u2019t she get splinters? \ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23Are we not worried about splinters or\u2026?Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd? Bring on the splinters :pIts all fun and games till you get a splinter.i hope she doesn\u2019t get a splinter. lolJust the thought of splinters down there, no ducking thanks! \ud83d\ude2bThe splinters that’s gonna cause……Won’t she get splintered? Asking for a friend.<\/p>\n

Listen, I think this is fair to wonder. I\u2019ve had wicker baskets before, and I\u2019ve been poked by them. So, yeah, I was also worried about the splinters the Fisherwoman might get while having sex with her Wicker Husband. Thankfully, she does not, and we learned that when Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd, who plays the Wicker Husband, and Olivia Coleman, who plays the Fisherwoman, settled the debate.<\/p>\n

We Asked Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd And Olivia Colman About The Splinters<\/p>\n

Along with showing Skarsg\u00e5rd and Colman the viral Wicker popcorn bucket <\/a>that looks like the Wicker Husband\u2019s torso<\/a>, we also asked about the splinters, seeing as they were also a point of conversation online. Here\u2019s how the Fisherwoman actress responded when CinemaBlend\u2019s Hannah Saulic asked about them:<\/p>\n

Olivia Colman: See, I think people have misunderstood wicker. They\u2019re thinking of kindling.Hannah Saulic: Okay, but I’ve had, like, a couple of wicker baskets that have, like, poked me before.Olivia Colman: Oh, really?<\/p>\n

Saulic went on to say that when the Fisherwoman and the Wicker Husband kiss, she was wondering if there would be splinters involved. Immediately, Colman and Skarsg\u00e5rd got into why some real wicker baskets might cause splinters, but the Wicker Husband won\u2019t:<\/p>\n

Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd: But\u2014Olivia Colman: The craftsmanship.Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd: But was that wicker basket made by Peter Dinklage?Hannah Saulic: This is true. No, it wasn’t.Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd: The greatest basket maker of all time.Hannah Saulic: So that’s the key.<\/p>\n

In the end, both actors came to the conclusion that there were no splinters involved in their characters\u2019 romance, as they both said:<\/p>\n

No splinters.<\/p>\n

This movie is about a man made of wicker who is brought to life by a basketweaver. So, it feels logical that whatever magic made him a living being would also make it so he didn\u2019t cause splinters when things were getting hot and heavy.<\/p>\n

Now, while that\u2019s all settled, my new question is: How did the fact that Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd was covered in this stuff impact how the intimacy coordinator<\/a> put these scenes together? It must have required some creativity they haven\u2019t used before. Anyway, that\u2019s a question for another time.<\/p>\n

For now, I\u2019m just thrilled to know the Fisherwoman did not get splinters during the intimate moments of Wicker. And you can go see this fantastical romantic movie in theaters now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us Add us as a preferred source on Google Newsletter Subscribe to our newsletter Wicker, which is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":893981,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[88],"class_list":["post-893980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=893980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893980\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/893981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=893980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=893980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=893980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
