It's been two years and many Saltburn fans are still reeling from that stomach-wrenching bathtub scene.

This week, however, their horror has been renewed once again after lead actor Barry Keoghan recalled how the X-rated moment he was seen to be drinking Jacob Elordi's sperm, was actually filmed.

For those who missed it at the time, Emerald Fennell's self-written, directed and produced thriller centred on Keoghan's character, Oliver Quick - a university student who becomes enveloped into the world of his charming and aristocratic peer, Felix Catton. After being invited to spend the summer at Felix's sprawling family estate Saltburn, Oliver forges an obsession with his brand new buddy that proves fatal.

The A-list flick - which also included Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver and Carey Mulligan - garnered considerable commercial success, and is already considered by some to be a cult classic.

One of the grittiest scenes that earned the film this reputation saw Oliver creeping into the bathroom, not long after it had been used by Felix to masturbate in. Eerily attached to his newfound friend, Keoghan's character is seen bending down and slurping up the remnants of Felix's bathwater, which had been laced by his sperm.

The vulgar moment went viral at the time, with bartenders across the world using Felix's spunky white cocktail as inspiration for their own seasonal Saltburn-themed beverages.

It wasn't until this week, however, that Irish actor Keoghan finally revealed what ingredients had been used by producers to create the colour and consistency of semen-tinged bath water.

Speaking on Hits Radio Breakfast to promote his new role in the Peaky Blinders movie, the 33-year-old confirmed: "Just lovely milk by the way, it was just full fat milk."

Keoghan isn't the only Saltburn actor to have addressed the saucy moment, with Elordi, 28, telling Entertainment Weekly he didn't expect the reaction it received from viewers.

"I actually think it shows me just how, I guess, prudish we are," he previously joked. "Because when I watch that, I just think there are far more extreme things in cinema that I've seen, far more graphic.

"There's more alarming things in the top 10 streamed remakes of crime documentaries on every streaming platform. I think that's much more alarming, the kind of horrible joy that we all get from watching children be mutilated."

Elordi went on to confess: "That's what was interesting to me. I was like, here's a piece of fiction with something just a little taboo, and that makes people's skin crawl. It's an interesting parallel."
