While filming On Swift Horses, Diego Calva experienced some whiplash that was not equestrian-related.
The Golden Globe nominee recalled suffering “neck pain” while kissing 6’5″ scene partner Jacob Elordi in some steamy scenes from the Daniel Minahan-helmed queer romance, now playing in theaters.
“There was one moment, probably the first scene when I realised how tall Jacob was and it was my first time acting looking up,” he told Attitude. “He was laughing at me! He’s way taller – I had like a neck pain for the first week from just kissing.”
Calva also admitted to being intimidated around his co-star in their nude scenes. “Believe me, being naked around Jacob Elordi is intimidating! He’s like a fucking god! He’s too perfect! … It’s hard not to do a hot scene with Jacob shirtless!” he said.
In On Swift Horses, Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and husband Lee (Will Poulter) begin a new life together in California after he returns home from the Korean War. But the arrival of Lee’s charismatic younger brother Julius (Elordi) threatens to upend their new home.
As Muriel sparks an affair with her neighbor Sandra (Sasha Calle), Julius moves to Las Vegas and finds work in a casino, where he begins his own romance with co-worker Henry (Calva).
