What a fabulous job he did on RWRB. My hat is off to you. That love scene was off the charts without being raunchy at all. Easily my favorite love scene ever.

[@importanttrivia]

Perez and Galitzine are wonderful in this film. Much has been said about their chemistry, which is palpable. But neither actor has shown as much heart or honesty in their other work. The difference is the sensitivity of the creative team. Director Matthew Lopez and cinematographer Stephen Goldblatt give them a glowing jewel box to inhabit. With the addition of the intimacy coordinator, Robbie Taylor Hunt, the intensity of the character's relationship materializes on screen. You sense that there was pride and love coming from all departments and that that provided a platform which allowed the two lead actors to become two lead characters that make us laugh and cry and love them. Cynics have attacked the film for not being what they want or think it should be, but that is short-sighted. The achievement of RW&RB is that it is completely what it sets out to be -- a smiling act of hope and love.

Absolutely fascinating look into a little known profession. "Chemistry" is a overused word, but in this movie, between Nick & Alex, they became the very definition. And seeing interviews with the two actors shows how well the team worked to create it. Kudos to the team, and especially Robbie.

Bravo! to Robbie Taylor Hunt. The intimacy in RW and RB was profound and palpable, realistically intense yet playful and human, so very human. Little things like Henry touching Alex's back just as..... and the curling up into each other as the intesity increases is so very, very real. And yet the actors were so real too. The look on Alex's face when Henry kisses him for the first time is... is... just priceless. Thank you for making this movie THE BEST romantic movie to date.

The first intimate scene of RWRB was amazing. It was so tender, so real, and while I don't know how the actors felt about it, the acting gave me goosebumps. The touching implied so much love and affection and wonder... great work!

[@sophiaamundsen9142]

His job in this film was absolute PERFECTION. Those intimate scenes were SO SO tastefully and beautifully done! Swoony!!! We get ALL the feels from them. Congratulations, sir, you're incredible!!!! 😻😻😻😻

[@sp00kyd0ll]

This is the magician behind one of the most beautiful love making scene I've ever seen on screen in my entire life! 😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Red White and Royal Blue's spicy scenes are so enjoyable thanks to this man (and of course thanks to the chemistry between Taylor and Nick and the great direction is Matthew Lopez! ❤️). I'm a huge fan of the book and the movie and I'm so happy they hired Robbie to make everything more respectful and comfortable for the actors and beautiful for our eyes! 🥰 Thanks so much for do this interview with him! ✨🙏🏻

I’m queer. 64 years old. I love this movie. And this is fascinating content. Thank you.

[@michaelday4598]

Do they have awards for intimacy coordinators? If not there should be and the first should go to RTH.

[@finduko]

Robbie Taylor Hunt just gave a master class on this career field and it was SOOOO informative and so interesting! I dont know if your youtube channel's videos are always so high in quality in terms of your guests and your questions (and their responses) but I was seriously impressed with this interview. I really appreciate the time the 3 of you put into this for us.

[@michaelthomas3821]

i've had a long standing beef about gay sex scenes and how universally awful they are. the Paris making love scene in Red White and Royal Blue was finally something believable of Henry being already in love with Alex and Alex falling hard. the little gasp as Alex entered Henry is the reality of anal sex -- something that people trained on gay porn don't realize. tops in particular need to respect their bottoms when they are first starting out and media rarely ever portrays that. the other thing that bugs me that RWRB got right in several scenes is the pure joy and playfulness of gay sex. it's not all just animalistic passion. sex is fun and funny too. it's ok for them to be silly while they are going at it too.

This guy is one of the main reasons why half of the world is still craz on

[@pwrprez]

What a terrific interview! The work that Robbie did (in conjunction with Matthew) with Taylor and Nick in RWRB was SPECTACULAR. When Alex and Henry finally have penetrative sex in Paris (it really is MAKING LOVE), it honestly feels like you are intruding on an incredibly sensual and intimate moment between two people who have fallen deeply in love with each other, despite the fact that it was supposed to remain “casual”. The devouring kisses, Henry pressing on Alex’s back to initiate the actual penetration, the little noises as Henry accepts Alex inside him, everything was done so beautifully. A love scene for the ages! 🥰

[@timh7246]

How perfectly done the Paris scene! The tenderness, slow absorbing of all the details by each of them. Henry's slow tracing of fingers along Alex's torso -- you only get that "first

[@johnnehrich9601]

Apparently I'm far from alone in such how profound this movie has affected me, to a depth I never knew I had. I've been binge-watching all the reaction videos that I can find, along with any scrap of info on the making of the movie, in between watching the actual movie, laughing and tearing up with emotion time after time. The nuances of physical communication like the way Henry will avert his eyes a bit and look down and then directly at Alex, or much more subtle things than just spoken words.

[@sanneannelies843]

I love this movie!!! I have watched it 4 times in 1 day and I cannot stop. The book and the movie are great. The chemistry between Nick and Taylor is off the charts!!! I laughed, I cried. Everytime I watch it I see more details and nuances that I missed. The love making scene was perfection!!! Never seen anything like that before. ❤️

[@tenribuanah9984]

RWRB is currently my fav queer movie at 2023 and knowing one of the people who contributed to make that movie is an honour 👍🥰🥰

[@merlinarthur4072]

He really did an amazing job in Red, White & Royal Blue. It showed in the movie particularly the bedroom scene. Well done! 🥇🏆

[@apapaputrh]

we begging for sequel

[@jwhend49]

Thank you for this interview with Robbie Taylor Hunt. It helped me understand what it means when the film credits list Intimacy Coordinator as one of the many professionals behind the scenes. The payoff comes when the love scenes succeed as well as they did in "Red, White, and Royal Blue".
