S-x is back in Hollywood, baby! And this time, it is not just about being bold, it’s nuanced, intentional, and woven into the story in the best possible way. Recent films likeChallengers,Saltburn,Babygirl, andAnoraare pushing boundaries, making these moments feel natural and impactful.
Zendaya’s infamous threesome inChallengersbroke the internet, but let’s not forget, Blake Lively pulled it off way back in 2012 withSavages, and no one batted an eye! Here’s the full scoop.
Remembering Blake Lively’s unexpected three-way scene inSavages
Hollywood is currently stepping into a new era, where erotic scenes and subjects are finally being explored in a more thoughtful and genuine way. Rather than just being a spectacle for audiences to watch, these moments have become a powerful tool to reflect characters’ emotions, underlying motives, and unspoken desires.

It is no longer about the shock factor, it is about how these scenes add depth and meaning to the story. That said, this is a conversation worth having separately, layer by layer.
HoweverSavages, a 2012 cult film, was anything but. What many may have forgotten is the three-way scene betweenBlake Lively,Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Taylor Kitsch, and let’s just say nuance wasn’t exactly the highlight. That said, it’s still a quirky pop culture moment worth revisiting. Since then, times have most definitely changed when it comes to how sexuality is portrayed in film!
Ben, played by Taylor-Johnson, Chon, and Lively as Ophelia or O (which is absolutely the most tumblr-y thing possible), run a cannabis business in California.
However, their peaceful life takes a dark turn when they cross paths with a ruthless Mexican cartel led by the brutal Elena (also very tumblr-y ). The film feels overly exploitative, with a predictable plot and underdeveloped characters, and ultimately, it falls flat.
Blake Lively opens up about the intensity ofSavagesscene
Although the film fell flat, the three-way scene between the actors was undeniably steamy. Blake Lively even opened up about her experience filming the scene in an interview withTooFab.com, giving fans a glimpse behind the scenes of what made it so intense. She explained,
It was definitely really challenging, because you’re on a set with 40 people, and the boys are standing there naked, That’s always a little awkward.
She further added,
I knew Blake I think 3 days, 4 days really. That was the first week of shooting, I was just glad it was over with, to be honest. It’s a pretty intense reveal, no pun intended. It’s all part of it and I was glad it was in the first week.
This wasn’t just Blake Lively’s solo experience, both Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Taylor Kitsch also found the scene incrediblyawkward. In fact, they were relieved when the scene was wrapped up within the first week of shooting.

Despite the star-studded cast and intense moments, the film didn’t quite connect with audiences (understandably so), earning (viaBox Office Mojo) only around $83 million worldwide against a budget of $45 million.
Savages is available on Apple TV for rent.
