Joshua Jackson isn’t shying away from talking dirty.
The star of Paramount+ series “Fatal Attraction” admitted that the erotic psychological thriller hinges on its onscreen sex scenes and his chemistry with co-star Lizzy Caplan.
“The sex scenes are of great importance because they’re furthering the narrative. You have to believe that these people want to fuck each other,” Jackson said in a Variety cover story.
Jackson stars as married business man Dan who embarks on an affair with seductively unhinged Alex, played by Caplan. Michael Douglas and Glenn Close portrayed the respective characters in the 1987 Adrian Lyne film.
Jackson explained that the TV reimagining of “Fatal Attraction” sets out to create “something in the beginning that’s transgressive and animalistic, then moving into something sweeter as the sex scenes progress — which is in its way more transgressive, because he’s married.”

Joshua Jackson has no problem talking about sex. In our time together, he doesn’t blush when referencing a woman’s nipples or breaking down how two people “fuck” on television. He’s been viewed as a sex symbol since he was a teen, playing the class-clown-turned-heartthrob Pacey Witter on “Dawson’s Creek,” and now it’s just who he is.
And it’s a very big part of “Fatal Attraction.” “The sex scenes are of great importance,” says Jackson, 44, “because they’re furthering the narrative. You have to believe that these people want to fuck each other.” The series, which premieres on Paramount+ on April 30, doesn’t shy away from the kind of nudity that Hollywood used to pepper R-rated adult movies with in the ’70s and ’80s.
