Um…what do you mean, willabee? He was minding his own business in a scene, and unbeknownst to all the crewmembers, etc, jerked off and came on Nicole’s back? Or they were shooting a faux sex scene between Keitel and Kidman, and he got so excited that he came on her back? No offense, but that is utterly preposterous. I will need a cite including notarized signatures of all parties involved before I believe that one.
Oh, and welcome to the boards, I guess…
Arrgh…Lost this the first time…Re-posting in short format…
David Bowie and that girl in the music video China Girl. Read an article in Rolling Stone I think. Seemed real.
I hate losing posts to slow 'net.

What part was Keitel supposed to play? Unless he was cast as the naval officer seen in flashback (unlikely) Kidman’s coiffure was never in danger. Or there were whole elements of the shooting that never came close to making it to the final print. Got a cite, willabee?
Disregarding its dubious veracity, this is one of the funniest things I’ve read all day.
I am a man of knowledge and hate the spreading of Urban myths in any form… but I may pass this one off as true!
We must confirm this!
It would revolutionize oldscratch’s “Six Degrees of Harvey Keitel’s Penis” game.
from imdb.com…
Hmm. I see that this rumor… ahem… reared it’s ugly head in that thread as well…
…and BTW, how exactly did Mr. Wolf come on her back AND hair? Does he have a one foot penis? Projectile ejaculation to rival the most prolific porn star? Was he standing on a footstool? Did he hop up into the air at the exact moment?
I’m trying to shake the image of him making that whiny sad face and groan thing he does in Reservoir Dogs and Bad Lieutenant right at the particular moment, followed by Nicole shouting “CRIKEY!!” 
This isn’t mainstream Hollywood by a longshot, but it’s a good film and its star has become a pretty hot Hollywood property these days.
Ewan McGregor had a full-frontal scene in The Pillow Book (which my wife loves) in which he’s at least partially-erect. If the sex scene that followed soon after wasn’t “real,” I don’t know what is. I can’t imagine it was faked.
No cite other than my own two eyes, I’m afraid. Great movie though!
Bowie and the model (name was something like Jee Ling IIRC) were romantically linked at the time, but I see no reason to believe that their From Here to Eternity-style sex scene in the video actually involved real sex. All that can be seen in the video other than distant silhouettes is a little above-the-waist skin and some close-up kissing.
For the record, I consider the “China Girl” sex scene to be one of the least erotic on film. Those loooong fingernails on the model creep me out, and Bowie looks like a zombie. Ick.
I read somewhere that there was a longer, more explicit version of this video that never made it to MTV.
Would that be the same place Tomcat read that they’re really having sex? This thread seems unusually full of “I read somewhere…” and “I heard once…” Not to be snarky, but I don’t think we’re living up to our usual good standards here.
Yeah, I didn’t want to bring it up Lamia, but I was also hoping for more along the lines of proof, and less along the lines of “Harvey Keitel shot his wad into Nicole Kidman’s Hair!!”
Although I understand how difficult it would be to find actual proof for something such as this…
No, this was read in a book in the pre Web era. But since you asked so nicely (asshole), I have found several mentions of an “uncensored” version of China Girl on the Internet as well, including this one:
And this one:
Yer welcome.
google the interview anne hatahaway did on chelsea lately show about her new move love and other drugs…she says actors really do have real sex in some films… but that she and jake gyllenhal decided to not have real sex…so straight from an actresses mouth and who would know better.
It’s a zombie, but I re-read the thread, and one additional factoid has emerged to explain why actual sex on the set in a Hollywood film is unlikely. Adult actress Sasha Grey was explicitly forbidden from having sex with her co-stars while filming Steven Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience.
Why? I can think of a very good reason - liability.
I’m surprised we made it this far (and 10 years) with no mention of Brown Bunny. Real (oral) sex and actual Hollywood actors.
Also, Shortbus. I don’t remember who all has sex with whom in that movie, but it’s very real (and graphic), but it’s pretty indie. To the best of my knowledge (not that I’ve looked into it) none of the actors are in the porn industry.
Since it’s bumped anyway:
Shia Labeouf’s upcoming movie with Lars von Trier, Nymphomaniac, supposedly has real sex. Labeouf said in an interview he sent von Trier a sex tape of himself as part of the audition (this being shortly before his girlfriend announced their breakup). Cite.
Holy crap, just when I thought Labeouf couldn’t get more repellant, he threatens the world with a sex tape.
It’s not the sex tape, you understand. It’s his involvement I object to.
