Actors Whose Careers Were Never The Same After Nude Scenes

[@Looper]

Do you view any of these actors differently after having seen them in these scenes?

[@kevinlakeman5043]

Not really in a negative way. I may seem some as sexier or generally more or less attractive among the women. But no extreme reaction or judgement.

[@maillway]

no

[@Gor85]

No. It's ok

[@erictayet]

When you're young, your youth is your best selling point. Being able to act is icing on the cake and will propel your career. I suppose to get studio's or director's attention, sometimes you just have to bare it all. I'm for actors using their bodies as expressions in their art but it should be done tastefully. I was shocked when I first watch Gia but after finishing the movie, I think Jolie wouldn't be as effective in portraying the character if she's all wrapped up. Overall, she made you feel for the person in the biopic. I'd like to see Jennifer Connelly in your next list.

[@realbadger]

Not so much; first thing in which I saw Jenny Agutter was _Walkabout,_ in which she was nude a few times. She did nudity in many of her films. I met John Landis at a convention and asked how he came to choose her for _American Werewolf in London._ He asked, "Have you ever seen _Walkabout_ ...?" "Absolutely," I said. "That's when I first fell in love with her." He smiled: "That's when I fell in love with her too..."

[@zelandakhniteblade5436]

The turning point for Meg Ryan's career was the disastrous plastic surgery, not appearing nude. In general, you can look through this list and say that movies that were successful helped careers and movies that bombed harmed them. Maybe nudity helps associate a particular actor more directly with that success or failure but otherwise I doubt that is particularly relevant to casting agents any more than any other aspect of the role.

[@kyachdistent1301]

I utterly agree with you, it's generally what a movie does at the box office, but God yes, the plastic surgery-and her lies and attitude in response to it. The public also did not like her affair with Russell Crowe or how she treated her then husband Dennis Quaid over it. Add to this her rather shockingly pleased declaration on a talk show and in a magazine that she was not romantic at all and didn't really like the image she'd been making for herself-and got a lot of mileage out of it all these years!!

Elizabeth Berkeley got such a raw deal after Showgirls. That movie is much deeper and more substantive than it gets credit for, usually it's just written off as a quasi-X-rated movie that exploits the actors. It's a very introspective and disturbing look into the entertainment industry as a whole and the Las Vegas industry specifically and how the industry chews up and spits out vulnerable women like discount chewing gum.

Meg Ryan's career stalled when she had an affair with Russell Crowe during the filming of Proof of Life. Her image was the sweet girl next door, and the adultery flew in the face of that. Made it hard to keep the career going. Also, she was nearing 40, which ended her career as the lead in rom-coms.

[@gfear24]

When it comes to the times Kate Winslet does it, it ALWAYS makes sense for the character in that scene. She's one of those few who only do it when it makes sense for the character in that scene. There are too many who do it just for the sake of doing it, doing it for the sake of trying to get away from a situation where they;re pigeon-holed into certain genres (See Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls), or because they're told "You need to do it", when they really didn't.

[@squamish4244]

And she's kept doing it into her 40s, which I admire. In Ammonite, she did a graphic nude scene at 45 or so, basically saying to the audience, "This is what I look like, you have a problem with that, f*ck you."

Her scene with Demi Moore as her hairdresser is fantastic and perfectly cast in Bobby. But she put her all into it for Casino. One of her best performances.

The ‘X’ rating wasn’t copyrighted. You didn’t have to submit a movie for review to get an ‘X’ rating, anyone could just slap it on so it effectively meant “Not Rated”, anyway. Lack of copyright is why it was so easily co-opted by the adult film industry and quickly lost all meaning.

Such is the power of that movie that the sombre nature of what is happening is all you are left with. It is a powerful story and very sad.

Oh, please. Actors have done nude scenes for decades without consequence. Aside from a small group of prudes, no one cares. The bottom line is, an actor's career is only as good as their last one or two films. Also, their offscreen behavior can play a big part; for example if they involve themselves in any controversial issues (overtly political, or doing illegal things), that can be a death knell for their careers. Being butt-naked in a movie is NOT one of those factors.

I’m a pretty gullible person, but I just can’t buy Sharon Stone’s story that she genuinely believed when they asked her to take her panties off, that it was because their brightness or color was messing up the shot. Nor do I buy that she genuinely believed they wouldn’t show her private areas in the film. I believe they told her all that garbage, but I don’t believe a woman of her intelligence would buy such a story. Why did she go along with it? I think she felt she had no real choice in the matter, because of her contract with the studio. If you sign a contract in the movie industry without taking certain precautions, in the eyes of the law, you’re now studio property, and if don’t do what they want, when they want it, they can sue you to the point of ruining you. I personally think she pretended to go along with it, then at the premiere she put on the finest performance of her career when they got to that spot in the film, she played that she had been betrayed. She was betrayed, but not in that way. The industry molested her in a way that the law couldn’t touch them, but I think she knew as it was happening that she was being molested. It was both consensual and under duress. She was blackmailed into doing the scene. That’s just my opinion. I could be completely wrong.

I think this whole "Oh my god they're nude-drama is so american." I feel it is so goddamn ridiculous to film an after-sex scene with girls always covering themselves with the sheets as if they have not just done what they did and it was so embarrassing to show themselves in front of their partner. The same is true for the guy wearing pants like immediatly afterwards. It breaks the immersion. It's like no director filming those scenes ever had sex before. This kind of censorship is just awkward. Worse, making something awkward when it clearly is one of the most natural things happening in the human experience. Now look at me.

7:20 lol, as if men aren't pressured to look their best. And when they don't they are absolutely made fun of for being fat and weirdly shaped. Chris Pratt went from being fat to being in shape for the MCU movies and no one commented on how toxic it was that he had to get in shape or that his original fat body should have been good enough. That's why they made fun of Brian Tyree Henry in Eternals for being a fat superhero. Now imagine if these dudes had gotten naked while being fat. The difference is that no one is going to swoop in and defend a man's out of shape naked body, nor should they.

Nudity in acting is a test, of how much of _themself,_ an actor is willing to put on the line. Anyone who’s too protective of themself, is not someone who sacrifices their all for the sake of their art and their craft; they’re not as serious, not as committed. Of course it should fit in with the story, and the artist should vet the work before they commit to it, but in most developed countries other than the U.S. (where film is more industry and less art), nudity is the first step to being considered a serious artist.

whatever

[@stevegallo8483]

The problem with Showgirls wasn't the nudity or explicit scenes. Showgirls wasn't a good movie.

[@toriless]

yep

[@leowashington8991]

Alexandra got those Beautiful Eyes, So Sweet and Innocent

[@pimpinaintdeadho]

*Chloe Sevigny: Has entered the chat*

[@toriless]

Brown Bunny, you might want to FF a few scenes.

[@patrickdoyle6201]

Unfortunately she can't speak for some reason 😹😂🤣

[@lonnieeastin6401]

Re: Kate Winslet. That scene in Titanic was perfect. Nothing to be ashamed of. Her revealing a little boob made it really feel like Jack was going to be distracted and nervous. Exactly as he should have been. It worked perfectly. And it wasn't gratuitous at all. It was an important piece of the storytelling. I think Sharon Stone's flash in Basic Instinct did the same thing. It showed that she was in charge... And the reactions from the cops interviewing her was perfect. IMHO

I do not understand why anyone enjoys the "50 shades" books or films.

[@tommymiddlefinger1283]

My agent told me I had to be completely nude for my first acting gig and it was for a cartoon voice-over part! 😆

[@kitemanmusic]

Did your 'agent' ask you to 'drop your top'?

[@leadlacedanarchy9341]

Chick from Game of Thrones was also semi-nude in the series Misfits where she got her breakout role.

[@joe3591]

Alexandra Daddario would've been FORGOTTEN and left behind by Hollywood if it weren't for her showing THE WORLD what a TOTALLY drop dead gorgeous lady she is by disrobing in True Detective

[@Jabberstax]

Let's be clear. Any negative public response to nude scenes is from women. Men don't have a problem with it. 😂

[@ssesf]

It was interesting watching In the Cut the first time as it was in a video store in South Korea where you were assigned a room with typically 2 seats. I was there with my friend and his wife. I'd never tried a 3 seat cinema before!

[@GetALifeMiley]

All those women who wasted their money on 50 shades could just watched Secretary. The movie that the writer stole this idea from.

[@AskAScreenwriter]

I'm surprised they didn't include Lisa Bonet, whose image rapidly changed from playing a squeaky-clean wholesome daughter on the Cosby show in the 80s (back before the general public knew about Bill Cosby's vile habits) to playing a VERY erotic (and bloody) role in Angel Heart.

[@kelvaris1]

Dakota's career didn't take off after those movies.

[@evanevans1843]

What about Anne Hathaway. Ella Enchanted vs Love and other drugs....?

[@lexis4490]

This list seems incorrect.

[@fukyuyuetoob7663]

Ok, I never saw those movies only heard of darrario and watch 1 movie of her, because her name sounded so cool, and because I heard she has blue eye and is amazing, because she is brunette. She was ok, saw her in the earthquake movie. Still that is a cool name, like Jojen Reed.

[@PrinceIsot]

Eva Green is probably the most beautiful woman ever imo. She is Aphrodite

[@Jeremy-ql1or]

It's weird they put the least famous person as #1.

[@paragonexperience]

They knew to put Dadario at the back

[@kekwayblaze3176]

Oscar winners have done nude scenes earlier on in their careers. Both male and female. Now with sex tapes of celebrities released it's no longer a big deal anymore, in fact sex tapes have made celebrities like Kim Kardashian.

[@mater1355]

Wasn't Margo big break in the movie Focus?

[@Loch1210]

Movie was a flop

[@moorebounce]

Most of the people having issues with women doing nudity are other women. I can speak for most guys who like the opposite sex by saying there isn't enough nudity in film lol

[@anthonyml7]

Well duh lol I second that, but from a career point of view def. not a good call for the actresses but I mean thats not what we really care about

[@patrickdoyle6201]

​@@anthonyml7it doesn't seem to have hurt Winslet or Greene nearly as much as it has hurt my wrist 😹😂🤣

[@SandorSoptei]

Stone is lying. She knew EXACTLY what they were filming. And if you know you dont got panties on, why would you do what she did?

[@emomuzz5883]

When did they stop calling them "actresses" ?

[@jackee-is-silent2938]

It's hard to separate the quality of the films and the dramatic appropriateness of nude scenes from the general negative attitude towards nudity in the United States. Not necessarily held by individuals, but often by institutions and those either vocal or with influence or both. How uptight it is about nudity versus violence is crazy. Until that society gets more relaxed about many things, there's going to be issues. Not withstanding that, the directors need to always act appropriately and the actors dealt with properly.

[@toriless]

Brooke Shields was not nude in The Blue Lagoon, every one of those scenes is a body double.

[@toriless]

No Jessica Biel?
