ELLE Fanning strips naked and gets down and dirty with Nicholas Hoult in a sexy scene from their new series The Great.
In racy scenes from the show, which is airing on Hulu, Elle flashes the flesh as she takes on the role of the Empress of Russia, Catherine the Great.
Nicholas, 30, takes on the role of Peter III of Russia and also shows off his body for the saucy sex scenes in the comedy miniseries.
Speaking about filming the awkward scenes, Elle told Entertainment Weekly: "We had an intimacy coordinator that was on set whenever we had those scenes, to make everyone feel good and make everything look real.
"She [Catherine] was very open and free and loved sex, so that's obviously something that I wanted to touch upon.
"You see the young Catherine on her first wedding night and it's not exactly how she was expecting it to go."
The 22-year-old actress continued: "And she ultimately gets a lover in Leo, they have the sex that they have, which is more loving and passionate.
"The sex with Nick and the sex with Sebastian [de Souza] in the show is very different."
Sebastian plays the role of Leo Voronsky, whom Catherine had an affair with.
Explaining more about her intimate moments on screen with Skins actor Nicholas, Elle added: "I think with Peter and Catherine, their scenes are just totally to get an heir. That's it. And Nick has to say some very bizarre lines that most of the time I was biting a pillow laughing so hard.
"I think we both like to challenge ourselves, Nick and I, and we're trying to push each other's buttons and he's trying to make me laugh and trying to go there.

"So I think it really helps those scenes. But especially the scene where [they have to] count his thrusts to 100, that scene, we were dying."
She continued: "There's a real wide shot where we had to kind of go through the motions because we're way in the background and the other characters are talking. And it was hard. We were just crying with laughter.
"So yeah, those days were actually quite enjoyable. They were funny."
The Great airs on Hulu in the US. In the UK you can watch it via STARZplay or on Channel 4.
