The Scottish actor – who plays Keira’s love interest Robbie in the Oscar-tipped movie – says the highlight of filming the romantic epic was hearing his co-star being instructed in the art of manual stimulation.

James told the New York Daily News: ‘Being there while Keira Knightley was being told to w*** me off was a high point.’

Director Joe Wright added: ‘Absolutely no comment. I can’t believe he told you that!’

The 22-year-old actress admitted that while she enjoyed shooting the raunchy romp in the library scene, she did need some guidance on what to do.

Keira said: ‘It was the sex scene, which I have to say I think is a really good sex scene. But it was such a specific thing and it had to be so erotic that we did just say to Joe, ‘Come on, talk us through it.’
