37yr old simulating sex with a 16yr old?

I find it really disturbing that Cate Blanchett, a 37yr old woman at the time, kissed, simulated sex, and simulated oral sex with a 16yr old boy, at the time. Were there body doubles? Why didn't they use a twenty-something year old guy who looked like a 16yr old like with the woman in Hard Candy?

Lucky little bastard.

If you love Jesus Lizard and are 100% proud of it, copy this and make it your signature!

It's legal in the UK...

As far as the reason goes I guess to make it more real, and I don't think he was actually playing 16 but more like 14 so having a 20-something year old pretend to be 14 would be tricky

Amazing indeed: https://youtu.be/dC3MpShH61I
