At the end of the week of filming we had this big impromptu orgy. [Almudena Amor] is a great dancer and I’m at least confident in my dancing skills without being really good. She said, ‘It’s working great, we’re totally on the same wavelength’.

However, the Split actor suffered a knee injury because he was surprised by another co-star in the scene:
[Almudena] is taller than me, she’s 6 feet tall, and at one point I was holding her upside down and doing something pretty weird and suddenly someone grabbed my neck and started biting my neck or something and that’s when it blew me away . My knee is pretty hard hit the ground and I think this is the first time I’ve ever been injured while shooting a movie.Turn Up The Sun!: This is what James McAvoy’s latest film is about
