Anna Lambe’s Hilarious Reaction to Filming Cringe-Worthy Sex Scene in Netflix’s ‘North of North’

by

Few individuals might claim they’ve “dogsledded” with their partner in the bedroom, as this phrase is rarely used outside of a specific context. This peculiar activity is now associated with Anna Lambe, the lead actress from a critically acclaimed but underappreciated Canadian comedy series. If you’re not familiar with the show, it revolves around Anna Lambe as a young Inuk woman who aims to rebuild her life following a high-profile divorce. However, during an interview, the actress confessed that she felt intensely embarrassed while filming an awkward sex scene for the TV-14 rated series.

In Episode 6 of the series, Siaja (Lambe) agrees to go on a date with dogsledder Oliver. However, she learns that his love for sledding extends far beyond just navigating through snow, as he asks her to bark and howl like a dog, using her hair as reins and instructing her to “Mush, doggy.” While one can envision the subsequent events, it’s important to note that what transpires on screen may not be as dramatic as your imagination might suggest.

Lambe discussed with you how a certain scene made her wonder about her job. She mentioned that the laughter on set was something that truly mortified her.

I recall an instance during filming when we reached the scene in bed, and he kept gripping my hair while saying, “Mush, doggy, mush,” which made me feel embarrassed as Zoe Hopkins, our director, hid behind a privacy screen, trying hard not to laugh at the monitor. I was mortified, thinking, “Oh, my goodness, this is just too absurd. What on earth am I doing here?

Dan, the actor portraying Olivier, is truly an amiable fellow, showing immense kindness and sweetness. He embraced the absurdity of the scene, skillfully depicting Olivier as both cheesy and peculiar. This approach made the performance effortless, smooth, and downright funny. I believe that approaching the day with a mindset of ‘let’s have fun, let’s create something silly’ significantly reduced tension and any lingering fear or anxiety.

‘North of North’ is a Perfect Netflix Binge-Watch

Despite Netflix’s collection being dominated by documentaries on notorious serial killers, action films packed with violence, and other content that paints a vivid picture of our reality, the critically acclaimed series North of North stands out as a refreshing change, offering viewers an uplifting alternative to the gloom and despair often portrayed.

Not a widely known show, but definitely one to watch – this is North of North. It’s been lauded for its unique blend of humor and heartfelt emotions. As put by Rebecca Onion from Slate, it represents something genuinely fresh in the realm of Netflix originals. In a world where novelty is hard to come by among new releases, this fact alone makes it an intriguing watch.
