James McAvoy has detailed how an intense orgy scene in his new movie led to a knee injury.
Turn Up the Sun! is a British thriller written and directed by Jamie Adams and starring McAvoy, Lucas Bravo, Aisling Franciosi and Almudena Amor.
The plot concerns a couple who plan a getaway in the remote countryside, only for mysterious incidents to occur.
For one scene, McAvoy was involved in a nine-person orgy and ended up smashing his knee!
"I just did an improvised film which was shot in six days and it's quite dark and sexual," he said on the Restless Natives podcast.
"The second last day of filming ended with about nine of us doing an orgy scene. An improvised f**king orgy scene. It was hardcore dancing, everybody is on drugs, we had all drunk loads of whisky and there was loads of kissing, groping and disrobing.
"There's this amazing Spanish actor called Almudena Amor and we had to go at it with each other.
"We had to be funny with it but properly go for it and we were both in the same headspace. So, we get to this improvised orgy and she's bigger than me, she's like 5ft 11in.
"At one point I was holding her upside down and we were doing some weird thing and somebody grabbed me on the back of the neck to start biting my neck.
"I just decked it and smashed my knee real hard on the ground. I think that's the only time I've been injured making a film."
