“You can slap me, you can grab me, you can pull me, you can kiss me,” Kirby told Phoenix.
Vanessa Kirby and Joaquin Phoenix are acting out on the set of “Napoleon.”
It isn’t hard to imagine that a dense period drama like “Napoleon” might collapse under its own weight — or— so the actors sought ways to inject some life into their scenes. That meant trusting each other to make creative decisions that might verge on violent. “Napoleon” gets into the titular character general’s psyche, focusing on his complex relationship with Joséphine de Beauharnais, portrayed by “The Crown’s” Vanessa Kirby.Phoenix said that he and Kirby gave each other license to “slap” or “pull” each other during high-octane relationship scenes.Phoenix elaborated, “She said, ‘You can slap me, you can grab me, you can pull me, you can kiss me, whatever it is.’ So we had this agreement that we were going to surprise each other.
