Allison Williams might be the butt of all jokes on the fourth season of “Girls.”
Williams’ character, Marnie, started the season with a sex scene involving her derriére and Ebon Moss-Bacharach, who plays Desi.
When New York magazine asked how filming the awkward sex scene went, the 26-year-old actress called it “total TV magic.”
“I read it in the script and I went into total action mode,” she said. “I got everyone together and I was like, ‘All right, Grace [in wardrobe], you and me — we’re going to come up with something so ingenious that he is going to feel comfortable.’”
Allison, who starred in a live production of “Peter Pan,” says she wanted her rump to “smell like a cake,” adding that she smeared vanilla cream everywhere for Moss-Bacharach’s sake.
From there, they created a garment that was “invisible from the side but that feels like a pillow when he puts his face into it,” she said.
She also told Entertainment Weekly the contraption was quite “elaborate.” “It involved Spanx that we cut away and glued down and involved menstrual pads and two of those weird thongs,” Williams explained.
Her father, Brian Williams, who was by her side at the season premiere party, said he’s not fazed by the raunchiness.
“She’s always been an actress,” the 55-year-old “Nightly News” host told New York mag. “For us, watching her is the family occupation and everybody has to remember it’s acting, no animals were harmed during the filming, and ideally nobody gets hurt.”
Allison’s co-star Jemima Kirke confessed that the idea of watching a sex scene with her own father made her squirm.
“I sat behind Allison and her dad in the first season [premiere] and I was going to puke; I was so nervous. I don’t even know him, but can you imagine [with this]?! Watching a kissing scene with my dad next to me is awful, let alone with you getting — whatever that’s called — motorboated in your ass!”
