August 30, 2024 — In a recent lighthearted interview, Hollywood legend Glenn Close shared an unexpected confession: she wished she had a love scene with actor Omar Epps in the movie “Deliverance.” The surprising comment came during a Q&A session when Close, known for her candid and humorous personality, was asked about her dream co-stars and favorite on-screen moments.
Close, 77, laughingly remarked, “You know, I’ve always wondered what it would have been like to have a sex scene with Omar Epps in ‘Deliverance.’” The audience erupted in laughter, recognizing the playful nature of her comment, especially considering that Epps, 50, and Close never actually appeared together in “Deliverance.” In fact, “Deliverance,” a 1972 classic thriller, did not feature either actor, making her remark a humorous nod to the unpredictability of Hollywood storytelling and casting.
Social media quickly caught wind of the comment, with fans sharing their amusement and speculating about the offbeat pairing. Epps himself took to Instagram to respond, writing, “Glenn Close, you’re an icon. I’m game for any adventure with you… on or off-screen!”
While Close’s comment was clearly in jest, it sparked fun discussions about dream co-stars and the ever-imaginative possibilities in Hollywood. Both actors continue to have thriving careers, with Close recently starring in several critically acclaimed projects and Epps making his mark in television and film.
As Hollywood continues to surprise audiences with unexpected collaborations, who knows what the future holds? Perhaps one day, fans might just get a glimpse of this playful fantasy on-screen.
