What's the best way to get ready to shoot a confronting movie scene? Vodka shots — at least according to Keira Knightley.Knightley has a lead role in A Dangerous Mind, the latest film from notoriously weird director David Cronenburg, playing Sabina Spielrein, who comes between psychoanalysts Sigmund Freud (played by Viggo Mortensen) and Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender).
One scene depicting Jung violently spanking Spielrein is so full-on that Knightley needed some dutch courage to film it.
"I did a couple of shots of vodka — definitely — beforehand, and then a couple of glasses of champagne as a celebration of never having to do that again," she told press at the Toronto Film Festival.
Knightley is adamant the scene isn't just "some weird sexy spanking thing", revealing she was never actually spanked. "There was a box which [Fassbinder] hit, so he was nowhere near me, thank God!"
