Kristen Wiig broke through with Saturday Night Live playing a wide array of completely bonkers characters. But the actress has been working hard to show her range since leaving the sketch show. And soon she'll take another bold step for her art and career, going fully nude for Welcome to Me .
The celebrated comedienne will grace the cover of Elle Magazine 's August issue. And when she sat down for the cover story interview, Kristen Wiig spoke frankly about the nudity required in the upcoming dramedy Welcome to Me . In the film, she stars as Alice Klieg, a Bordline Personality Disorder sufferer who wins the lottery, bails on her meds, and buys her way into a talk show of her very own. Says Wiig of the script by Eliot Laurence:
"I’d never read a character like that. I got to a scene where it read, ‘She’s fully naked,’ and I remember thinking: If I do this movie, I have to do this scene because it’s really important to this script."
In an age where even a frame of nudity can be forever preserved (and ogled) online, it's easy to understand how a full on nude scene could give Wiig pause. But Wiig is a bold performer, and a groundbreaker. The Academy Award-nominated writer and star of Bridesmaids is embracing this scene along with the character of Alice, that she found so compelling.
Welcome to Me will be helmed by Shira Piven, A.K.A. Adam McKay's wife, who made her directorial debut in 2011 with the little-seen comedy Fully Loaded . We first got word of Piven's follow-up in the spring of 2013, when McKay and Will Ferrell's production company Gary Sanchez began courting Wiig to star. Piven went on to fill her supporting cast with noteworthy players, like Linda Cardellini, James Marsden, Alan Tudyk, Jennifer Jason Lee, Loretta Divine, Thomas Mann, Wes Bentley, Tim Robbins, and (of course) Will Ferrell. The film has wrapped, and now we await news on when Gary Sanchez will usher Welcome to Me into theaters.
But this is far from the only film project that Wiig fans have to look forward to. Coming to theaters this September is Wiig's reunion with Bill Hader for the Sundance celebrated drama The Skeleton Twins . Following that is Chilean writer-director Sebastian Silva's latest drama Nasty Baby , follow-up to the one-two punch that was the Michael Cera-fronted double-feature Magic Magic and Crystal Fairy and the Magical Cactus .
2015 will bring the Marielle Heller-helmed 1970s-set drama The Diary of a Teenage Girl , in which Wiig co-stars with Alexander Skarsgård and Christopher Meloni. Beyond that, Wiig is attached to star in Jared Hess's Loomis Fargo, an action-comedy based on a real heist. This flick boasts in its ensemble Jason Sudeikis, Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis, Ken Marino and current SNL comedienne Kate McKinnon. And lastly, Kristen Wiig will lend her voice to the weird 2016 animated adventure Sausage Party , which follows a sausage's quest to understand where he comes from.
But if you can't wait for more Wiig, check out the cruelly overlooked Hateship Loveship in which she offers an incredible and tender dramatic turn. It's now available on VOD. (opens in new tab)

Why Kristen Wiig went naked in 'Welcome to Me'
this link is to an external site that may or may not meet accessibility guidelines.
Kristen Wiig was nervous when Welcome to Me premiered at last year’s Toronto Film Festival. “We knew it was strange,” she says. “We were like, ‘Well, people are either going to walk out or….'”
Bill Murray, who was there, called the film one of the boldest and—yes—strangest comedies he’s ever seen. “I think that’s a compliment,” says Wiig with a laugh. In Welcome to Me , directed by Shira Piven—co-starring Linda Cardellini, Tim Robbins, Wes Bentley, Joan Cusack, and James Marsden—Wiig plays Alice Kleig, a woman with a borderline personality disorder who wins $86 million in the lottery and decides to buy her own talk show. “I knew I wanted to do it as soon as I read it,” says Wiig, who was intrigued by Alice’s complexities. “You kind of want to hate her, you feel sorry for her, you’re embarrassed by her, but you can’t stop watching what she’s doing.”
The movie puts Wiig into plenty of uncomfortable situations: Alice demands to arrive on set in a giant swan boat, she spends a segment eating meatloaf cake, she has a dramatic breakdown. But it was the scene where Alice walks naked through a casino that intimidated the actress the most. “That scared me because I knew if I did the movie I’d have to do that scene,” she says. “I didn’t want to say yes and then take that scene out. I just thought it was important to the story and the character—so the thinking was if I make this movie then I have to do the scene where I’m totally naked.”
But, Wiig adds, it wasn’t just the nudity that frightened her. “She’s also very emotional and you don’t want to make fun of her. You’re talking about borderline personality disorder and you have to respect that. You don’t want to offend anybody. You just want to do the right thing.”

It's a classic nightmare: you're in a crowded room, and feel a breeze. You look down. You're naked!
Kristen Wiig experienced exactly this while filming " Welcome to Me ," except it wasn't a dream at all. One scene in the movie, in which Wiig plays a woman with Bipolar Disorder who buys a talk show starring herself after she wins a mega jackpot in the lottery, required Wiig to walk totally naked through a fully operational casino.
"They couldn't close it down," Wiig told MTV News of shooting the scene in the crowded locale.
Fearless as she may seem, Wiig described filming the scene as "terrifying."
"I was so nervous about it obviously since I read the script, because when I read it, I was like, 'oh, if I do this movie I have to do this scene. I can't do like, the slot machine's right here .' I didn't want to do that thing."
Though she reiterated that the experience was "scary," Wiig also said that she gained something from it as well.
"After I did it the first time, I was like, well, that's oddly freeing, to be totally naked in front of a bunch of people that you don't know," she said. "It's scary but it's something I can say I did."
"Welcome to Me" is in theaters now.
