His side of the story: Matt Damon will play Liberace's lover Scott Thorson
Happy couple: Catherine and Michael pose together at an event in September 2012Damon opened up about his role to Playboy magazine last year.
'Normally I’d say no to nudity, but I just did a lot of it playing the long-term partner of Liberace,'he said. 'I mean, it’s tastefully done. But this movie’s not going to be for everyone.'
The actor also discussed his love scenes with Douglas, and even complemented him on his kissing technique.
'Michael was a wonderful kisser,' he laughed. 'My concerns ended up mattering a lot less once we were filming. The dynamic between the men was complex and interesting.
'Liberace was very powerful and adored, a great showman making $50,000 a week doing his act in Vegas. Scott was much younger and grew up in foster homes, so there was a lot to play.'
In fact, Matt described how the two actors thought hard about how to act out their scenes of passion.
'We both have a lot of gay friends, and we were not going to screw this up,' said the actor. 'It wasn’t the most natural thing in the world to do, though. Like, for one scene, I had to come out of a pool, go over to Michael, straddle him on a chaise lounge and start kissing him.
