Babygirl follows the story of an successful business woman called Romy (Nicole Kidman) and her raunchy affair with her younger intern Samuel.
There are plenty of saucy sex scenes in the upcoming blockbuster - and one scene in particular left Harris feeling a little "embarrassed".
In the scene, director Halina Reijin asked him to dance to a George Michael song naked, while in a hotel room.
Recalling the moment, Harris told Variety: "That was just me moving. Halina put the song and said 'just dance'.
"So I just had a little groove...
"Maybe I had a little whiskey before.
"But it was embarrassing."
Before working together on set, they had a chat with an intimacy coordinator to find out what they were happy with doing.
Harris said: "We'd have a discussion with the intimacy coordinator and then Nicole and I kind of did our own thing with it once we set the parameters of what we were both comfortable with.
"The intimacy coordinator is saying: 'What are you comfortable with, what do you want as a director, what are you comfortable doing from that vision?'

"They're facilitating that and doing it very delicately without interrupting the actual scene.”
Meanwhile Nicole also made a shocking revelation earlier this week.
The Undoing star was so "turned on" during some scenes that they had to pause filming.
She said: “There was an enormous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration.
Nicole Kidman's raunchiest roles
By Jake Penkethman, TV Reporter
The Perfect Couple - Nicole indulged in a steamy romp with her best friend's ex in The Perfect Couple. She appears opposite Ray Donovan star Liev Schreiber, 56, as married couple Greer and Tag Winbury. There was viewer speculation on how their steamy scenes might be awkward, due to Nicole's close friendship with Liev's ex partner Naomi Watts. According to US outlet Entertainment Weekly, Nicole reached out to her pal prior to playing onscreen spouses with her former beau. "We always check in, we're besties", Naomi told the publication, before adding: "That was very kind of her to do that."
Eyes Wide Shut - This was one of Nicole's more famous roles and saw her star opposite her first husband Tom Cruise. The erotic mystery movie is packed full of extra-marital sex and orgies with Nicole's character at the centre.
Billy Bathgate - Back in 1991, Nicole was left stripping off on multiple occasions for movie Bily Bathgate. Co-starring Dustin Hoffman, Nicole was a young and married socialite who found herself often nude in the racy movie.
The Paperboy - Nicole was seen romping again with a younger man in The Paperboy as she got down with Zac Efron. Aged 44, Nicole found herself getting intimate with Hollywood heartthrob Zac Efron. Zac described the sex scenes with Nicole as "the highlight of my life". Speaking at the time about filming the sex scenes, she said: "For me the freedom of her sexuality was important. I didn't want to be saying 'No' to anything, which is an important part of being an actor, is learning not to shut down and not to say 'No,' and be completely free. I think as you get older you get a little more frightened - that's the thing that makes me want to go, 'Oh, screw this, I just want to push through that,' and never stop myself from fighting through my own insecurities."
“It’s like ‘Don’t touch me’.
“There were times when we were shooting where I was like ‘I don’t want to orgasm any more.
“Don’t come near me. I hate doing this.
“I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life!
“I’m over it. It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout.”
Nicole also filmed sex scenes with Antonio Banderas, who played her character's husband, Jacob.
The person behind the scenes were the TV and film intimacy coordinator Lizzy Talbot - who started her career in 2015.
Speaking to casting agency Spotlight earlier this year, Izzy explained the process of how intimacy coordination works in practice on set - and there's a whole bunch of paperwork involved.
She explained actors fill out 'intimacy riders' at the beginning of filming, in which they set out their limits and boundaries for what they are prepared to film in the way of intimacy and 'simulated sex' - to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable.
Babygirl, which debuted in August at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, hits our screens in the UK on January 10 next year.
The film is released in the US on Christmas Day 2024.
Nicole and Harris are joined by Sophie Wilde, Gaite Jansen and Victor Slezak.
