American Gods reshot its gay sex scene to make it even more erotic

American Gods has actually made fairly the influence since it introduced a few weeks earlier, though probably the most legendary scene so far occurred on this Sunday's (Might 14) episode.

In 'Head Packed With Snow', we see Salim (Omid Abtahi) as well as the Jinn (Mousa Kraish) make enthusiastic love in a New york city resort area.

And also while it was a pretty specific scene, it has now been disclosed that the sequence was really reshot in order to make it a lot more sensual.

\" We felt like for Salim, as a male coming from a nation that tosses you off the top of structures if you're gay, a strike job in a street is most likely his only sex-related experience,\" showrunner Bryan Fuller clarified to Vulture of the principle.

\" We seemed like the djinn, in this enchanting motion, wanted to provide him an extra intimate sex-related experience. We wanted it to be extremely visual and also beautiful.

\" We desired those things not to be lurid, but to be stunning and exciting as well as for heterosexuals to view the love scene in between these 2 males and also not go, 'Ew' but go, 'That's stunning'.\"

Exposing that he wished to reveal raw gay sex and to test heterosexual customers, they eventually managed to get network Starz aboard.

However, the actors greatly winged it-- both being straight and having never knowledgeable sex with guys-- and the penises we see were really developed via CGI.

And also when the preliminary harsh cuts were sent to Fuller and also co-showrunner Michael Environment-friendly, they desired more from the scene.

\" I resembled, 'OK, unless he has a 12-inch, candy-cane cock and also can f ** k around edges, his dick's not getting in him,\" Richer remembered. \"So you individuals need to go back and also figure out where openings are.\"

This brought about a reshoot, which clearly paid off as it is the enthusiastic and now-iconic scene we saw in the last edit of the episode.
