Their roles required them to get intimately involved, including in a densely packed montage of sex scenes featured in the first movie.
This montage depicted the on-screen couple celebrating various occasions with sex, each time dressed in outfits appropriate for the specific holiday or event.
Baccarin revealed insights about this montage during an interview with Conan O’Brien in 2017.
Baccarin continued: “It took two days to shoot the sex scene, because I think it was us making sweet love for an entire calendar year.”
“So it was all the holidays, you know. So we dressed differently for every one.”
In a 2018 interview with People magazine, Baccarin elaborated that Ryan Reynolds didn’t find Deadpool’s costume particularly enjoyable.
“It basically just smells like rubber the entire time.”
Nevertheless, Baccarin has remarked that her co-star made the entire experience tolerable through his professionalism.
“But, we made the best of it.”
“You’re like spreading your legs and you’re like whatever, it’s just, you get so used to each other.”
