The French actress and her co-star had to romp around in a cramped car for their characters' racy encounter and Cotillard reveals they rehearsed the scene to make sure they had the "choreography" correct.

And then we were like, "We're gonna do this, and then I'm gonna go on top of you and then we're gonna kiss and then blah, blah, blah'. When it's decided it's just easy."

"It's so crucial that we choreographed that scene ahead of time," he explains. "It's exactly like doing a dance number. It's all just movement and rhythm. It all just becomes a dance."

In the film, which hits cinemas on 23 November, 2016 the actress plays a French resistance fighter while Brad is an intelligence officer.
