\nThat “Babygirl” milk scene really happened to director Halina Reijn and it was “one of the most arousing moments of my life.”<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was this young Belgian actor \u2014 I can\u2019t say who it is \u2014 but he was famous. I knew of him. I\u2019d never spoken to him. He was at least 15 years younger\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/cnhojaTAuP<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the standout moments in Halina Reijn\u2018s erotic thriller \u201cBabygirl\u201d finds Nicole Kidman\u2018s Romy being sent a glass of milk from the young intern she\u2019s having an affair with while they\u2019re separately at the same bar. Romy accepts the challenge and finishes the entire glass in one sip. Later on, the intern leaves the bar and calls Romy a \u201cgood girl.\u201d It\u2019s a sensual and humorous moment, and it\u2019s one that actually happened to Reijn in real life.
\u201cThere was this young Belgian actor \u2014 I can\u2019t say who it is \u2014 but he was famous,\u201d Reijn continued. \u201cI knew of him. I\u2019d never spoken to him. He was at least 15 years younger than I, and he ordered me a glass of milk. I thought it was an incredible, hot thing to do, and so courageous, and so I wanted to reward him by drinking the whole thing, and I did. It did make me a little nauseated, to be honest with you, because it was cow milk. It was back in the day.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\nReijn said that this young Belgian actor never went up to her and called her a \u201cgood girl,\u201d although \u201cI wish he did.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe just walked out. I didn\u2019t have sex with him or anything. But when I was writing, I did think that was one of the most arousing moments of my life,\u201d Reijn said. \u201cThere wasn\u2019t even touching. That is what fascinates me about sex. To me, real, shocking sex is often not at all two bodies banging into each other. To me, real, shocking sex is about what is in the mind. It\u2019s all suggestion. It\u2019s all imagination. <…> Real sex acts to me onscreen are quite boring, which is why we only have two short moments of that.\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n
