John Hannah enjoys Roman orgy in "most explicit" ‘Spartacus’

London: Four Weddings and a Funeral star John Hannah will be seen in a new series ‘Spartacus’ – which is being called the "most explicit" ever made.

The series is about a gladiator who leads an uprising against the Romans. The star had to cancel a visit from his wife and kids - as he was filming with naked slave girls. The Scot told how actress wife Joanna Roth, 45, and twins Astrid and Gabriel, six, were set to visit him during filming of a bath scene on the US-made hit. "We were filming this sequence where there is a party and the gladiator is brought in and the girls are in the water. "I had been thinking about bringing the wife and kids out to the set for a bit of lunch and to see the filming, but I thought maybe I better not bring them out on this day!" a news daily quoted Hannah as saying. Hannah admitted he had been surprised by the level of nudity in the show - which launched on Bravo with an impressive 500,000 viewers on Tuesday. "There is casual and decadent nudity in the background and you think, `Wow, this is different`. "There`s one scene where I am doing some dialogue while a slave is pleasuring me! "I don`t get a lot of humping scenes, just some orgies and me in a bath with four women which is kind of funny," he said. However, he doesn’t think it’s ‘too explicit’, since his sister who saw a few episodes didn’t seem to think so – in fact she found it quite funny. ANI
