— Queerty (@Queerty) July 21, 2015Mr. Magneto himself, Sir Ian McKellen asked a straight friend to draw a diagram for him to help him film and intimate scene with a woman. The 76 year old actor told @NPR: "My first job was to appear to be having sex with Joanne Whalley-Kilmer in the marital bed. Well, this would’ve been a joyful scene for any straight actor to play. She’s extremely beautiful and a lovely person, and I didn’t know what to do with her. So I went to a friend, Edward Petherbridge, the actor, who knows about these things. And I said, Edward, I’ve got to do this love scene. Can you explain to me — can you draw me a little diagram? So he did. He gave me some stick figures…Showed me what was possible. So I’m now an expert on the missionary position, and everything went well.”
Paraphrased from @Queerty.
ONTD: Do you need a sex diagram? And who would you ask for it?
