Chris Meloni Recalls Filming Shirtless ‘SVU’ Scene With Mariska Hargitay
As anticipation builds for the next episode of “Law & Order: SVU” and the potential developments between Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler, let’s take a moment to reflect on one of the most talked-about scenes between the duo, as recounted by Chris Meloni.
The Infamous Scene from 2008
The memorable scene dates back to the 2008 episode “Wildlife” from Season 10. In this episode, Stabler (Chris Meloni) goes undercover to infiltrate a group of animal smugglers. Benson (Mariska Hargitay) stops by his temporary residence to check on him, but things take a dramatic turn when two smugglers surveilling the residence show up, demanding to know who is inside.
Benson hides in the bathroom, emerging with her shirt off and pretending to be a woman spending the night with Stabler’s undercover persona. She snuggles up to a shirtless Stabler, marking a significant moment for fans who had long hoped for a romantic development between the two, even though Stabler was married at the time.
“Are you ready for me, Daddy?” Benson famously says in a put-on Southern accent.
Behind the Scenes with Chris Meloni
Reflecting on the scene, Meloni tells TODAY.com, “I do remember that being out of the box. There was something about that exposure — a literal exposure — that made it very dynamic. I just remember that feeling, and I remember she and I — we were extra, I don’t know, vibrant or vivacious or whatever, and that was our expression of, ‘Oh, my God, this is really pushing these characters towards an uncomfortable place.’”
At the mention of Benson’s accent, Meloni laughs, “Yeah, it was a little Southern,” before imitating, “‘Come on over here, Daddy. Oh, OK, Daddy.’”
What’s Next for Benson and Stabler?
In the upcoming Jan. 26 episode “Blood Out,” viewers will see Benson and Stabler interact in ways they never have before. A promo for the episode shows the two forehead-to-forehead, embracing in Benson’s apartment.
When TODAY co-anchors Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb pressed Meloni on whether Benson and Stabler will kiss in the upcoming episode, he playfully responded, “I want my lawyer,” and added, “She’s so beautiful, I was asking about her beauty secrets. Her skin is so soft.”
The Anticipation Builds
As fans eagerly await the next chapter in Benson and Stabler’s relationship, one thing is certain: the dynamic between these two characters continues to captivate and excite viewers, making “Law & Order: SVU” as compelling as ever.
