Onstage, certainly. Obviously I'd want it to be relevant to the production and not gratuitous, but I'd be happy to do it. On film? Depends on how tastefully lit the scene is and how much I get paid. At least when a play closes, it lives on only in people's memories, and not in DVD players across the world until the apocalypse comes.

Not necessarily...

Ask Alfie Allen for another.
Ask David Tennant for a third.
And, ofcourse, dare I mention the Darius Danesh photograph?
yeah

I did a show last year where the entire cast had to appear nude at the ends of Act 1 and 2 (no, it wasn't "Hair").
The first rehearsal we did the full nudity was the hardest; it's no small wonder the entire cast was taking shots of whiskey at 9 in the morning. After that, though, it wasn't as hard as it seems.
For the type of actor I am, if anyone ever wanted me to be naked on film it sure wouldn't be for a sexy, steamy, love scene. It would probably be for comedic value. :-P

I think People's attitude towards nudity has changed a lot over the years. Just look at film for example. It use to be taboo for guys to do frontal nudity and nowadays it's pretty common. Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The Reader come to mind. One a comedy the other a drama and both provide different reactions from the audience.If anything it seems females are not willing to show as much these days as guys are.SO many European films have so much nudity in them its really not an issue over there than it is here in the USA where someone getting their head blown off or brutal violence is OK but nudity is considered something worthy of an NC-17 or labeled bad or pornographic.
Still, mainstream actors fear nudity like the plague.Will the day come where see Zac Efron and Hayden Panettiere doing films where they are fully nude. God, I hope so!

Totally. I've been pretty close before. I have very little modesty on stage.

Posted: 4/4/09 at 4:12pmThey probably are but Darius' picture is funny and unfortunate! Answers the age old question: "What's up your kilt?"

#18re: Full frontal nudity onstage or on film: Would you do it?
Posted: 4/4/09 at 4:57pmSure I would. I've been pretty close, and I'd venture a guess that that's harder than just going all out.

Posted: 4/4/09 at 6:08pmI think it would depend on how much I want the role. If its a great part that happens to require a bit of nudity, then I think I could.

Posted: 4/4/09 at 6:47pmC+P Jane's answer for me, unless I'm being paid very well, then I'd consider it. Money buys things that help dull the pain of humiliation, like alcohol, and cruises, and alcohol on cruises.
