Challengers: Josh O’Connor dishes on filming that steamy threeway kiss
Josh O’Connor has opened up about filming his sensual threeway scene in the forthcoming drama, Challengers. On 26 April, movie enthusiasts in the UK will be treated to Luca Guadagnino’s highly anticipated sports drama, starring Zendaya, Mike Faist and O’Connor.
Set in the competitive world of tennis, Challengers follows the journey of two best friends and industry pros, Art (Faist) and Patrick (O’Connor).
Their lives take an unexpected turn when they both fall for tennis superstar Tashi (Zendaya). However years later, the dynamic between the trio changes dramatically, with Tashi marrying Art and transforming him into a grand slam champion.
The official synopsis adds: “To jolt [Art] out of his recent losing streak, she makes him play a “Challenger” event – close to the lowest level of pro tournament – where he finds himself standing across the net from his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend, [Patrick].” Over the last few months, MGM has teased the release of Challengers by dropping various clips and trailers – including one featuring a jaw-dropping three-way kiss between the three aforementioned characters.
