The 1998 thriller Wild Things cut a homoerotic shower scene between Kevin Bacon and Matt Dillon after one of the actors refused, its director reveals.
Wild Things cut a homoerotic scene involving Kevin Bacon and Matt Dillon after one of the actors refused. Released in 1998, the erotic thriller follows a police detective in Florida who makes a series of surprising revelations as he investigates a high school guidance counselor accused of raping two female students.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Speaking to Yahoo Entertainment for the 25th anniversary of Wild Things, director John McNaughton revealed that another steamy sex scene was originally included in the script, but was never shot. The shower sex scene between Bacon and Dillon's characters occurred shortly after the pair were revealed to be conspiring against the two young women, though the scene was scrapped because one of the actors refused to do it.
In the original version of the scene, Matt walks into his bathroom to take a shower and there's Kevin. They were supposed to look each other up and down and then wham — go at it. I love surprise, and I love stuff that I don't see coming. But in that moment it was like "You win some, you lose some; we're moving on.
Twenty-five years after Wild Things' release, it's safe to say that its homoerotic scene probably wouldn't be cut today. The big studios are becoming increasingly comfortable with depicting homoeroticism on screen, which Bacon notes wasn't the case in 1998. Straight actors are also becoming increasingly comfortable filming homoerotic scenes, which McNaughton claims wasn't the case with Wild Things.
