Part of what makes us want to watch Hit Man is the chemistry between Glen Powell and Adria Arjona. It comes across in all of the promo, but also comes across in all of the interviews. As the two do more and more interviews and talk about everything that went on behind the scenes, we love the them more.
Glen Powell and Adria Arjona worked hard to make sure that they were in sync. The two spoke with InStyle Now about making the movie and it turns out the two had a mood board. A mood board for their sex scenes.
“So Adria did this really, really smart thing, where she would print out— we would send images to each other of things we found to be hot and sexy,” Glen told InStyle. “And so we would talk out these sex scenes and these images and these poses and these moments. And what I think makes this movie really sexy is that these are things that are striking and hot and emotional, but they’re really things that we [came up with] together as co-stars.”
It’s actually really smart because it puts them in tune. It builds trust.
“That was really beautiful that they allowed me to have a space to bring something that I feel comfortable with and wanted to do on-screen.” Adria added.
“The more time we spent together, which was pretty much all day, every day and very late nights, we became more comfortable with these moments. There was no awkwardness around these conversations,” Glen added.
He continued, “It did feel like the ideal version of going to work as an actor: Hey, we’re going to play with our friends. Let’s just have the best time ever. Especially in this environment, with these scenes; there’s a lot of eyeballs on these sex scenes, right? There’s a lot of people that are trying to determine what is sexy, what is appropriate. And the fact that Adria gave Rick and I the ability to say, ‘Hey, we want your ownership over this thing,’ and she was like, ’Full tilt baby, I got this.’ It really made the movie sparkle in a way that would not have been possible without her.”
We love the fact that these two made sure that they were on the same page and we’re sure it will translate to the screen.
Hit Man starts streaming on Netflix, June 7th!
