Harris Dickinson sends internet wild with sexy dance for Nicole Kidman in Babygirl

You’ll never listen to George Michael’s Father Figure the same way again after a steamy scene in the Nicole Kidman hit film Babygirl.

Harris Dickinson is steaming up the internet with his erotic private dance for Nicole Kidman in their sizzling film Babygirl.

And his sexy, shirtless moves to George Michael’s iconic pop ballad Father Figure are also sending the song back up the charts.

The British actor plays an intern who seduces Kidman’s high-powered CEO into a kinky affair, and ramps up the film’s hot barometer with his sinewy grooves as she sits in a chair watching him perform.

The scene is being hailed as a role reversal homage to the legendary striptease dance Kim Basinger performed in front of Micket Rourke to Joe Cocker’s You Can Leave Your Hat On in the 1986 erotic thriller 9½ Weeks in 1986.

Dickinson has shared he had a couple of whiskys to loosen up before unleashing his sexy sway.

“The day before the shoot, I thought, ‘Oh my god, that’s tomorrow. I may or may not have had a little whiskey before dancing,” he told W magazine.

His smooth grooves have already inspired plenty of copycat action on social media including the equally hot Pedro Pascal giving his version of the scene, albeit with his T-shirt on.

The film’s director Halina Reijn had the scene in her head, choreographed to the George Michael classic even before she finished the script.

“I wanted to use that song because I knew I wanted to make a comedy of manners about power and consent and sex and control,” she told Entertainment Weekly.

“That song embodies, for me, the whole thing that I’m trying to do, which is put everything on its head and turn it inside out.”

The estate of George Michael are selective about giving approval for the late pop icon’s music use in film, television or other commercial purposes.

Reijn was desperate to secure permission as the scene’s rhythm was perfectly in sync with Father Figure and it would next to impossible to substitute another song that would work with Dickinson’s dance.

The director said she hassled the film’s producers several times during the shoot to get the rights to use the song and it was finally approved after she had completed the edit.

The Father Figure dance scene isn’t the only provocative moment everyone is talking about ahead of its cinema release later this month.

Drinking milk will never be the same again after a risque scene featuring Kidman enjoying a downing a glass of the good stuff in a bar.
