It seems “Oppenheimer” has bombs going off—in the bedroom. The hotly anticipated Christopher Nolan blockbuster contains a steamy sex scene, which the director was “nervous” to film. “Any time you’re challenging yourself to work in areas you haven’t worked in before, you should be appropriately nervous and appropriately careful and planned and prepared,” Nolan said.
The dramatic departure from Nolan’s usual style—his films famously avoid sex and nudity—has fans hot and bothered. “Knowing Nolan he’ll sprinkle a dash of making out with a teaspoon of moaning and call it a day,” one fan snarked on social media. The biopic seems a less than sexy choice for the director’s first, reportedly “prolonged” scene, but Nolan told reporters that it would have been impossible to tell the story without the sex: “When you look at Oppenheimer’s life and you look at his story, that aspect of his life, the aspect of his sexuality, his way with women, the charm that he exuded, it’s an essential part of his story,” he said.
