Colin Firth’s sex scene interrupted by fart

Colin Firth has revealed that an intimate sex scene for his new film Then She Found Me had to be re-shot because someone on set farted at an inopportune moment.

The Bridget Jones star, who was filming the scene with Helen Hunt, revealed recently: “Helen’s character plays my children’s schoolteacher and one of the emotional hearts of the film is when she comes to sleep on the floor of the room where I am with the kids.”

“It’s very, very quiet and we can’t speak too loudly because the kids shouldn’t see their schoolteacher together with their dad, for heaven’s sake.”

“There was a camera at floor level because that’s where we were - then somebody down there broke wind incredibly loudly.”

“It was not silent, [but] it was deadly. Then there was this silence, this paralysis in the room.”

“Helen, who was in my arms, asked: ‘What just happened?’. Some very noble soul put his hand up and admitted that they did it.”
