When Christian Bale and Ewan McGregor were filming their sex scene, the director cut without letting them know, so the two continued to simulate the act until they realized the trick that had been played on them.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ewan McGregor sang their own songs in the movie. (Some of Rhys Meyers's songs were overdubbed by Radiohead lead singer Thom Yorke.)
The David Bowie song "Velvet Goldmine," though originally recorded for the "Hunky Dory" album, wasn't officially released until 1975, being the b-side to the re-issue of the "Space Oddity" single.
