Make Page Six a Preferred Source Hudson Williams, 25, and Carrie-Anne Moss, 59, revealed that their steamy age-gap sex scene in the new AMC+ series “Yaga” required plenty of practice.
In the new AMC+ series, which is based on the folklore surrounding Baba Yaga, Williams plays Henry Park, the son of a wealthy family who goes missing and is later found dead.
However, Henry has a habit of recording his sexual encounters, including one with Moss’ character, Kathryn Hargrove, a professor at his university.
“We did it lots of different ways. Lots,” Moss told Entertainment Weekly of rehearsing that sexual experience.
Along with directors David Frazee and Rachel Talalay, the two actors met during rehearsals in a hotel screening room.
“You could feel how much the scene meant to Kat and the directors,” Moss told the outlet, referring to showrunner and writer Kat Sandler. “There was definitely an energy of [inhales sharply].”
Moss said that there were “so many ways to start” the scene.
“Do I wanna be devouring him from the [beginning]? And obviously you want to have an arc to a scene,” she told the outlet.
Williams said that when he was playing Henry, he can be “totally naive.”
“When I’m Henry, I can totally be naive and ignorant to the fact that I think I am steering this ship and I think I got the upper hand. Nowhere ever did he have a sentiment of a hand-over,” he explained.
The series also stars actors Noah Reid, Sheila McCarthy, Clark Backo and Patrick Gilmore.
It is based off of Baba Yaga, an iconic figure from Slavic folklore. She is an older woman who is both monstrous and incredibly wise.”

However, Williams is no stranger to filming steamy sex scenes.
The actor also stars as hockey player Shane Hollander in the hit series “Heated Rivalry,” which follows his secret romance with rival Russian player Ilya Rozanov, played by Connor Storrie.
The two actors have shared plenty of steamy moments on screen, with the show currently filming its second season.
The actors have previously spoken about their “chemistry” in interviews.
“Me and Hudson had the chemistry down before we even started acting,” Storrie told Vanity Fair in December.
“We got comfortable just being inches from each other’s face and invading each other’s personal space,” Williams added, joking, “A nightmare for HR.”
Williams shared that his “pretty close bond” with his on-screen partner “made it comfortable going into territories where you’re closer with a person than any other coworkers are with their coworker.”
