Cara Delevingne and Orlando Bloom leave little to the imagination in Amazon’s Carnival Row, as they strip naked for a steamy sex scene.

It comes after Orlando, 42, admitting that it was ‘awkward’ filming the steamy romp with his co-star Cara, 27, during an interview with MailOnline.

In the steamy scenes, Orlando – who plays human detective Rycroft Philostrate, flashed his bare behind as he enjoys a racy romp with Cara – who plays his faerie lover Vignette Stonemoss.

The model also goes topless for the revealing scenes as she is pushed up against the wall during the romantic encounters.

It comes after Orlando admitted that filming the sex scenes with co-star Cara was a ‘little awkward’. 

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline he said: ‘Yeah, there is isn’t there? Quite punchy, it’s quite punchy. It’s always a little awkward, honestly, there’s a lot of people standing around watching you pretending to have sex, if that’s the same rule for violence or whatever it may be. 

‘I don’t think it’s intentionally gratuitous, it leads into the fantasy genre of the show, it’s good.’

Talking about the show in general and his character Rycroft Philostrate, he continued: ‘Well I’ve seen the show, I’m excited to see my friends and family who are all here, which is nice. 

‘We are getting dangerously close to the show airing on Amazon Prime on August 30 so it’s the end of a long run of publicity.

Racy: Talking to MailOnline at the London screening, the Pirates of the Caribbean star spoke about the racy and violent scenes in the show (pictured in a show still with Cara) 

‘Awkward’: He revealed: ‘It’s always a little awkward, honestly, there’s a lot of people standing around watching you pretending to have sex, if that’s the same rule for violence or whatever it may be.’

‘It’s really great to be talking about something that I think, a project that has with the fantasy lands we can look at the world through today, this great social commentary about refugees, race, sexuality and power abuse. 

‘It’s all the brainchild of our creator and show runner Travis Beacham who had this genius idea about 20 years ago and it’s finally come to fruition. It’s been a long time, it’s good.’

While Cara added: ‘The cast made it, and to be honest, the crew and everyone on set. The camaraderie on set, and the passion and the care for every detail. 

‘The crew made this what this is, with every single box and everything you turn, I was trying to find the mistakes in this world and you can’t. I know that people can’t see it but they’re there. 

Sweet: While Cara added: ‘The cast made it, and to be honest, the crew and everyone on set. The camaraderie on set, and the passion and the care for every detail.’

‘But Orlando, he’s a brilliant actor and it was amazing to work with someone who had the same passion to make this stand out and be something different.’

Talking about whether her role as fairy, Vignette Stonemoss, was challenging, she continued: ‘For me, I think the physical aspect was really hard, but to be honest with you, it was the emotional journey. 

‘She’s the character which I had the least, the furthest away from her life so to try to unpackage what she’s been through and what she’s lost and how she’s so strong… 

‘I feel like the more people lose, and the worst the situation was, somehow they manage to deal with it better and there’s that purity about her, this hope that is still left. Some people grow up with too much and lose hope quite fast so it’s crazy.’ 

Pals: She added: ‘But Orlando [pictured], he’s a brilliant actor and it was amazing to work with someone who had the same passion to make this stand out and be something different.’

Cara rose to fame as a model but has since turned her skills to acting, talking about whether she would ‘return’ to modelling, she revealed: ‘Returned? I never left. I don’t think you have to pick and choose what you do, especially as a creative person. 

‘There are many different ways to express yourself, I don’t think you should stop yourself from doing anything.’

The interview comes after a trailer for the neo-noir fantasy series showed Orlando and Cara putting on a very steamy show in a risque bedroom scene. 

Cara, 26, plays a fairy named Vignette Stonemoss, who rekindles a dangerous affair with a human detective Rycroft Philostrate (Orlando).
