More stories to check out before you go
When it comes to getting naked in front of a camera, Hollywood stars have all kinds of stories. Whether they’re working through a choreographed sex scene or just hanging out in the nude, most of your favorite actors have bared it all at one point or another and created some of the most iconic moments in film history . To be clear, we are never, ever advocating for stars to be pressured into nudity they’re uncomfortable with , or for movies to rely on objectifying women’s bodies in lieu of, say, giving them lines.
Hollywood has gotten much wiser in handling those sensitive scenes, so there are now intimacy coordinators, who ensure the well-being of the actors on set. With everyone involved on the same page, nudity can do so much for a movie — and we love hearing what the stars who have gotten totally naked for their roles have to say about the process.
While many actors share the experience of getting naked on camera , their memories and feelings about the scene completely differ. After all, Jason Segel’s hilarious full-frontal nudity in Forgetting Sarah Marshall was a very different challenge from Michael Fassbender’s intense role in Shame as struggling sex addict Brandon. And some actors rarely do nude scenes — can you name the one film Matt Damon took his clothes off? While others, like Daniel Radcliffe, put a pause on baring it all because they felt like they were doing it too often.
And female nudity on camera has changed even more drastically, with many women now reclaiming their right to show their bodies from a long tradition of being objectified and exploited by men.
Jennifer Lawrence spoke out about the decision to go fully naked in 2018’s Red Sparrow after her personal nude photos were leaked four years prior, saying she cherished the opportunity to present her naked body on her own terms.
“I feel like something that was taken from me, I got back,” Lawrence said on 60 Minutes . “It’s my body, it’s my art, and it’s my choice. And if you don’t like boobs, you should not go see ‘Red Sparrow.'”
Consider yourselves warned. And if you do like boobs, read on for a list of every star who got totally naked on camera.
This story was originally published in July 2020
Emma Thompson recently made headlines for her full-frontal nude scene in Good Luck to You, Leo Grande and how honest she’s been about body image struggles. “When I’m looking in the mirror, I’m always trying to make myself look ‘better’ — turning this way or that, checking out my a**e, pulling something in. Simply revealing my utter incapacity to accept my body as it is.”
Keira Knightley has participated in quite a few nude scenes in films like The Jacket, Silk, A Dangerous Method, and The Aftermath. In an interview for the Chanel Connects podcast per Elle , she revealed she’d no longer do sex scenes for male-directed films either to end the male gaze. “I don’t want it to be those horrible sex scenes where you’re all greased up and everybody is grunting . I’m not interested in doing that,” she added. “I feel very uncomfortable now trying to portray the male gaze.”
Although Tilda Swinton has gone partially nude for many of her roles, the film Female Perversions is the only one where she displayed full frontal nudity.
Diane Keaton wowed audiences when she did a full frontal nude scene at 57 years old for the hit 2003 film Something’s Gotta Give. And she’s continued to do them since, telling Daily Mail, “Who says you can’t do a bedroom scene in your 70s?”
Monica Bellucci has done nudity in films like Irreversible, Malena, and That Summer. In an interview with TODAY , she said her nude scene in That Summer “was an act of generosity,” and she only does those scenes with directors that make her feel protected.
Who could forget when Rae Dawn Chong went fully nude in the fan-favorite fantasy film Quest for Fire?
If you saw The Tudors, you saw Natalie Dormer nude a couple times when she played Anne Boleyn. However, she doesn’t love doing those kinds of scenes. “To set the record straight, I have never been comfortable doing sex or nude scenes,” she said to New Statesman . “I’ve turned down roles this year that have involved sex, solely because of the way I’ve been misrepresented. I’m so terrified at the moment of perpetuating that clickbait image of me.”
Sally Hawkins wowed audiences with her role in the Oscar-winning film Shape of Water.
Julianne Moore always goes for the bold choice in her films, especially when she did a nudity scene in the thriller Chloe alongside Amanda Seyfried and again in Gloria Bell. But she said in an interview with People that sex on screen is not realistic, saying, “People never have sex the way they do in the movies. You see that in these old sexy movies where somebody rips somebody’s blouse off. I’d be so upset if someone tore the buttons off my shirt,” she joked. “I’d be ‘What are you doing?’”
Rachel Weisz has also done a few tasteful nude scenes in films like Stealing Beauty and I Want You. When asked if she used a body double, in an archived interview Hello, she responded, “Absolutely not. It was all me. I never even thought of using a double.”
Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly has gotten nude a few times for the camera, including in films like American Pastoral, Shelter, and Requiem for a Dream.
Sydney Sweeney has had a meteoric rise in recent years with her starring roles in Euphoria, White Lotus, and the movie The Voyeurs. In the latter, she engaged in a very steamy, full-frontal sex scene. She said to Hollywood Reporter, “People forget that I’m playing a character, they think, ‘Oh, she gets naked onscreen, she’s a sex symbol. And I can’t get past that. I have no problems with those scenes, and I won’t stop doing them, but I wish there was an easier way to have an open conversation about what we’re assuming about actors in the industry.”
Before Kelly Preston passed away in 2020, she did a slew of amazing and fun pictures, including the 1985 film Mischief, where she decided to go fully nude.
Alexandra Daddario has been in a plethora of notable shows like T he White Lotus and True Detective. Speaking of True Detective, she ended up doing a memorable strip tease and nude scene for it, and it was the talk of the town. At one point, she found out former President Obama watched the show, to which she tweeted, “…. The president has seen my boobs.”
You may or may not remember when Juno Temple went fully nude in the indie film Killer Joe, Horns, alongside Matthew McConaughey. But she’s been nude in quite a few projects like Ted Lasso, Vinyl, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, and Magic Magic, to name a few.
After going fully nude in the later cult classic Showgirls, Elizabeth Berkley said the role changed her, and made her feel like a pariah in Hollywood. “It changed me. It was a life moment, and I cannot help but say I would be a different person had I not gone through the depths of what it taught me,” she said to People in 2020. “No one associated with the film spoke up on my behalf to protect me. I was left out in the cold and I was a pariah in the industry I had worked so hard for.”
Bradley Cooper got very candid about going fully nude during one scene for his role in the 2021 film Nightmare Alley . “I can still remember that day, just to be naked in front of the crew for six hours, and it was Toni Collette’s first day,” the actor told KCRW’s The Business . “It was just like, ‘Whoa.’ It was pretty heavy.”
Cooper also shared his approach toward the film and philosophy, as well. “The content of what the movie is, what we were exploring, in order to do it in a real way, it demanded that we’d be naked emotionally and soulfully.”
During his October 15, 2021, appearance on The View , Oscar Isaac chatted about the nudity scene he did for HBO’s take on Scenes From A Marriage . “I was surprised because I didn’t know that was going to happen,” the actor told the co-hosts .
“You get sent the stuff to look at and be like, ‘Okay, I’m fine with that.’ I saw it on a laptop quite dark, and I didn’t notice what was happening down there. There was a surprise when I started seeing these things of like, ‘It’s full frontal.’ I’m like, no! What are you talking about? Then I saw, clear as day on the big TV there. It’s there for everyone.”
Isaac’s co-star, Jessica Chastain , also chimed in to say that she wanted the nudity on the show to be equal. “Well, I said to Hagai, who wrote and directed in the series, I said in the very beginning, ‘I’m comfortable with all the nudity, but any part of my body that you show, you’re going to have to show the same with Oscar,’” Chastain shared on The View . “There’s a shower scene we have in Episode 2, and you see my body, so you see his body. For me, I wanted it to be balanced.”
Elizabeth Olsen has been gracing our screens as Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch on WandaVision lately, but many people forget the indie film where she got her start: Martha Marcy May Marlene.
The subject matter was challenging because her character was under the spell of a charismatic cult leader — and many of her scenes involved sexual abuse under his power. Yet Olsen felt her nudity was crucial to her character’s story.
“I feel like actors are tools to help the story, and if [nudity is] part of the story in an effective way, then it just is. If it’s sensationalized and gratuitous, I don’t want to do it,” she explained to Vulture . “In this film, it has a very clear purpose of someone losing their full sense of self-identity and ownership of herself and her body and her mind.”
Matt Damon is usually one of Hollywood’s more conservative actors when it comes to nudity, but there is one where he decided to bare all. He felt like it made sense in telling the story of Liberace and his lover, Scott Thorson, in Behind the Candelabra.
“Normally I’d say no to nudity, but I just did a lot of it playing the long-term partner of Liberace, Scott Thorson, in Behind the Candelabra , he explained to Playboy . “I mean, it’s tastefully done. Steven Soderbergh directed it, and Michael Douglas plays Liberace. But this movie’s not going to be for everyone.”
We like Damon’s walk on the wild side, he should do it more often.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s Wolf of Wall Street antics included lots of drug-sniffing, drink-chugging, and yes, full-frontal nudity. And the Departed star didn’t shy away from clarifying that he did not, in fact, use a body double, telling Extra : “It was all me, pal. All the flopping around, it was all me.”
“Look, when you do a character like this, you have to go all out,” he added. “You can’t pull any punches. You have to swing for the fences. You just gotta do it. You can’t think about yourself because it’s not me. It’s a depiction of somebody else…Hopefully people enjoy it.”
Eva Green’s nudity in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For may have caused the biggest stir, but an early Bertolucci film The Dreamers was her first introduction to the art of baring it all for the camera.
“I am a very shy person in life, very reserved, but you know, it’s Bernardo Bertolucci. I’ve seen [ Last Tango in Paris ] and it’s not pornographic, it’s not vulgar, it’s not sick, so I trusted him,” she said in 2004. “He’s a master of love and eroticism, but it’s good because I stopped being self-conscious. I felt like I was on drugs or anesthetized, because you have to be. You have to let yourself slip away and forget everything, forget the sound guy and all that.”
With 1992 film Jamón, Jamón , Penélope Cruz both met future husband Javier Bardem and burst onto the scene as a movie star — and it involved stripping down for some key scenes.
“I thought, ‘There is a character there, there is a style, the material is really good.’ Of course I was not looking forward to those scenes but I did it,” she told Esquire of the film’s more graphic scenes. “Everyone was really respectful, aware of the fact that I was 18. I remember the last day of filming, I was crying, saying, ‘What if I never shoot a movie again?’ The feeling was devastating. ‘Who knows when I will see these people again?’ Including Javier.”
Afterwards, she explains that she “went away for a while from anything that had to do with nudity or sex scenes” for a while” “I felt that I needed at that point to stay away from that. Not as a calculated plan. Personally, I needed that.”
Colin Farrell’s first time attempting a full-frontal nudity scene ended in a bit of a disaster, he later admitted on Ellen.
“I went up to the director Joel Schumacher and I had on a dressing gown and nothing underneath,” he recounts. “And I was obviously so nervous that I lost my mind for a second cause I opened my dressing gown and I said, ‘It’s a bit, is it a bit…’ Cause I had, like most men, what you could refer to as ‘retro bush.'”
It gets worse: “I went into my trailer and I got a bin and I put it there. And I sat over the bin and I got the beard trimmer — I was nervous — and I trimmed the right side a little bit and obviously had to match it, so I trimmed the left but I overshot the mark a little bit. So I had to go back in and trim the right again, and I overshot that.”
Let’s hope Farrell’s gotten in touch with some slightly more sophisticated grooming techniques since.
When Scarlett Johansson went naked for Under The Skin , it was important for her to feel like the script required it: “The nudity is written in to the script and I hope the audience agrees that it’s, you know, it’s not really indulging,” she said. “It’s almost like biological in a weird way, I think, and there is a lot of intention behind it.”
Halle Berry ’s full-frontal nudity came in the form of a 2001 Monster Ball sex scene with Billy Bob Thornton.
“We both agreed to be uninhibited with our bodies, so it wasn’t just the woman who was being exposed, and we just said, ‘Let’s service these characters,’” she told the Guardian.
“We only had to do it one time, which is good, because you don’t really want to have to go there that many times.”
Jennifer Lawrence has publicly reflected on why it felt empowering to go nude in Red Sparrow after swearing she never would — but she also told pal Ellen DeGeneres that she had specific concerns about the on-set temperature.
“What are you doing with this heat!” She told the crew. “My nipples are going to be huge!”
Ben Affleck ’s nude turn in Gone Girl felt important for the actor to capture the seriousness of the role. “This is a warts and all movie. It can have no vanity. You have to see the naked underbelly of this character,” he told MTV News .
While Angelina Jolie ’s most famous naked scenes come from 1998 biopic Gia , she’s spoken most openly about the topless sex scene she shot with then-husband Brad Pitt for By The Sea .
“Love scenes are strange anyway, but when you’re doing a love scene with a person that you really have sex with? The only way to get through it was for us to all talk about the absurdity of it and make sure no one was feeling awkward,” she told Entertainment Tonight.
Nicole Kidman and then-husband Tom Cruise took part in some of the most famous sex scenes of all time in Eyes Wide Shut — but Kidman says their on-screen drama had almost nothing to do with their real relationship.
“Onscreen, the husband and wife are at odds, and [director Stanley Kubrick] wanted to use our marriage as a supposed reality. That was Stanley: He used the movie as provoc
