Okay the wife and I are having a debate, when he gets out of the tub in Bonnie and Clyde, was he really naked or not? Someone help settle this.

He was naked. He and Laura both confirmed this in interviews.

She thought he wasn't I said he was, because it looked like he was when he jumped out of the tub. Also, does anyone know, how Blanche and Clydes brother, got bloody so fast for his death scene?

On the bootleg recording of a Broadway performance, his boxers are clearly evident when he exits the tub.

For Buck's death scene, the actors were handed packets of the fake blood that they busted open against them while the lights were down.

It went back and forth. He wasn't comfortable with the nudity, but he was pressured. They actually got special bubbles to cover his nudity by the time the show opened.

Those bubbles to cover him were so thin. I didn't think there was any reason for him to be nude.

Why would he be uncomfortable with a nude scene when he had played the part of the gay hustler in a Hartford, CT production of The Little Dog Laughed in 2008?

Saw B&C twice - both times from the Mezz. Happened so fast the first time and it was so dark I couldn't tell if he was or wasn't nude. The second time I knew the scene was coming and again from the Mezz and it was still dark so couldn't tell.
It wasn't necessary for him to actually be nude for the scene. If the director wanted it to be noticed the lights would have been brighter. Overall the nudity wouldn't have done anything to progress the plot. Implied nudity since he was taking a bath was fine.

I can't verify the boxers because I haven't seen the bootleg referred to, but he was nude, just not completely. He mentions "a little thing covering the thing" in in his Broadway.com ask a star interview. I assume he's referring to a c**k sock. They're used a lot in movies to keep everything hidden.

It was such a brief moment, staged awkwardly to mask a clear desire on the actor's part to not be naked. I thought I saw underwear on him, but I had lost all interest in the show long before that point, so I didn't have the opera glasses up at that time.

^How have I never seen that one?!? I've only ever seen the first pic.
Also, I'd like to point out that when Stark Sands played Clyde in the La Jolla Playhouse production, he never seemed to have any issues with the nudity, AND he actually had an additional frontal nude scene that was lost when they cut the song "Sixteen Years." That song included Clyde entering his jail cell naked having, assumedly, just been strip searched off stage.

I mean I think it's allowed for an actor not to be comfortable with appearing fully nude on stage in front of up to 1100 people, especially when he's more or less originating the part. Every individual has a different opinion about nudity, and nudity in art, but I don't see why anyone should be shamed for what he or she is or isn't willing to do. While I'm sure there are plenty of people who would like to see Jeremy Jordan au naturel (and there will almost certainly be plenty more once Smash starts airing again), if he didn't feel comfortable stripping down for B&C, he didn't feel comfortable, and that's that. He was dealing with a different book than Stark, it sounds like.
To be clear, I love watching both Jeremy and Stark perform, but I don't think it's fair to cast Jeremy in a negative light for possibly not appearing entirely naked in a scene where the character's state of undress had absolutely nothing to do with advancing the plot or not. Had the scene post-strip search still been in the show, that would have been a different matter, but that doesn't affect what audiences saw on Broadway.
I didn't find that bit of staging to be awkward or problematic, personally. It was fairly far back and dimly lit, but that moment was not one that really stood out to me as being bad in that show. I had too many other, more major issues with the show.

Is anyone casting Jordan "in a negative light?"
As you say, the show had way too much wrong with it to care whether Jordan was happy to strip down or not. A post-strip-search scene would have been so incredibly gratuitous and unearned; the tub scene was bad enough in that regard, as was the bizarre possibly-but-we're-not-entirely-sure-post-sex-scene in Act I featuring a skeletal Osnes in bra and panties singing an irrelevant song about dancing.
The gratuitous nudity just shows how much the production team didn't trust the material (rightly so, in my opinion).

Well..He isn't nude, but at least we get to see him in underwear.

Was really hoping they would be briefs

That picture is photoshopped. Jeremy is not hairy and soft looking. This body isn't the same.

...it's a real photo, from a calendar for Rock of Ages.

Well, here he is at latest Skivvies concert.
Looks similar to me.

I like that this kid has a normal man's body. A good body, but not the pumped up, cut look a lot of young stars are required to have these days.

To say that is not Jeremy in the pic is moronic. It was an actual calendar that was made with the men from Rock of Ages, and it's clearly him. It's been put through a filter and retouched, but it's him.
And it also appears to be the only time he's ever been comfortable showing a little skin. Clearly he has issues with it on stage.
