Viola Davis is raking in awards and accolades for her role on “How To Get Away With Murder”…but she definitely put in some major work to win. In fact she’s so dedicated to making her lovemaking sessions look passionate and real on the show that she kept on grinding through an injury to get the perfect shot.

Via People:

Star of How To Get Away With Murder Viola Davis admitted during a “Sway in the Morning” radio interview on SiriusXM that she was actually injured while filming a sex scene with co-star Billy Brown, who plays Nate.

“I blew my back out,” Davis, 50, said laughing. “That was in the Billy Brown scene. He threw me up against a wall. All I can say is I was totally committed to the scene.”

“I just told them to slow it down for a minute,” the Emmy winner said. “I’m going to get back into it. I have to. It’s Shondaland! They’re gonna have me doing all kinds of stuff with all kinds of people.”

Well she might want to keep the ibuprofen and epson salt on hand…HTGAWM fans want to see EVERYTHING Shonda has planned for Annalise and her lover(s)!
