Kate Mara turns the air blue in drop waist skater skirt as she reveals she stuck pictures of Kevin Spacey onto her body during nude scene with Hollywood star



House Of Cards star Kate Mara has revealed how she stuck mini pictures of Kevin Spacey onto her breasts during nude scenes with the star... to try and get him to laugh.



Kate admitted on Jimmy Kimmel live her actions were to try and make the Hollywood star chuckle during his close-up for the steamy scene, but said Kevin remained ever the professional and kept a straight face throughout.

Speaking on the ABC show, the 29-year-old - who looked lovely in a skater skirt blue dress, said she was undeterred and when producers for the 13-part Netflix series asked the pair to re-shoot Kate tried again, this time by sticking pictures of Barack Obama onto her body as it was election day.

'I was trying to make him laugh. We have a scene where I may or may not disrobe. They give you these little pasties to cover your nipples, I didn't like the shape of them.

'So I thought, how can I make Kevin laugh during his close-up. So, the first time around I printed out just pictures of his face, stuck them on. His close-up comes, nothing. Just no reaction at all.

'We had to re-shoot the scene, I decided to print out pictures of Obama, I though of course he is going to laugh, this is funny. Nothing.'
