Tell Me Lies Stephen actor Jackson White admits he was asked to work on his 'thrusting' while filming sex scenes

Tell Me Lies season three is currently airing on season three - and fans are loving seeing the twists and turns that are unfolding in every character’s story.

As always, Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco are at the centre of all the destruction. The actors are just one of several Tell Me Lies on-screen couples who are actually together in real life, which has made things interesting for them on set and at home, it would seem.

Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel on his self-titled show Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jackson said that he Grace, his girlfriend of three years, fight at work when they’re in character and are then “pretty docile” when they’re at home and being themselves.

But, he admitted that despite their real-life closeness, this didn’t make filming intimate scenes any easier. “In season one, I had to do a lot of sex scenes,” he explained. “I got a phone call from the boss and she said, listen, this is a difficult conversation to have, but we we got a call from the higher ups and you have to work on your thrusting."

It’s worth mentioning here that Jackson’s character Stephen was also having a relationship with Diana Linder (Alicia Crowder) on and off throughout the season as he went backwards and forwards between her and Lucy.

Jackson went on: “I think I I had some type of involuntary body roll. I think that's what it was. I think they wanted it more standard ‘cause it looked like maybe it wasn't real.” He stumbled over his words, he said: “I was doing the worm on my girlfriend and they wanted more of a sort of a standard relatable sex thing.”

He went on to say that there was a “designated sex week” during filming. Explaining why, he went on: “There's an intimacy coordinator . . . they could only come on Wednesday through Friday. So you had to you had to squeeze all the sex days into those days with multiple episodes. So then you'd be on set and if you're not doing a sex scene, you're seeing all your co-stars pass by in robes. They crunched them into a one consolidated little week.”

He added: “I'm the only one that got notes,” prompting the live studio audience to laugh.

Grace previously told Jimmy Kimmel when she was interviewed by him that viewers believe they truly are Lucy and Stephen - and this has led to some awkard situations where fans have even told him to “get away” from her.
