Hollywood actress Glenn Close has revealed that she knocked back a jug full of margaritas before filming the raunchy lift scene in Fatal Attraction.
The Damages star, 62, told how she ordered a jug full of booze before getting hot and steamy with co-star Michael Douglas.
She said: “There’s some scenes – like the elevator scene – where I asked for a pitcher of margaritas and I drank about half of it,” she said during a discussion about the movie with Douglas.
“You did pretty good,” he laughed.
“And you were happy,” she smiled back.
The pair were discussing their roles in the 1987 hit thriller for an Oprah Winfrey Oscar special, which is due to air on US TV this week.
Sitting closely together, the stars appeared relaxed as they laughed and joked about their on- and off-screen antics.
Reminiscing about the notorious lift scene, Douglas, 55, said: “I was a happy guy. I was a very happy guy.
“The elevator scene. That’ll be a good memory. That’s going to be one whole chapter in the book.”
Close added: “I felt I was in such a safe environment and you were a fantastic partner with that. I think we really believed it was extraordinary storytelling.”

That really is so funny! Not surprising though, I am sure this is something that is done a lot to calm the nerves of celebrities.
