Going all bare for a couple of scenes isn’t really unwonted in Hollywood. But some stars, even A-listers have a sort of no-nude-on-camera policies tagging along with them, in their respective clauses.
Some of them started out their now-successful careers with these policies, others didn’t want to attain the status of a sex-symbol all throughout their careers (and lives) and some of them even cited the reason being that they didn’t want their kids seeing their parents go topless (or bottomless) for a shoot. Here are a few of them, who strictly practice the “Whatever it may be, not taking it off!” tack.
Keira Knightley
Keira is no stranger to sex and nude scenes. Yes, she has stripped down on The Hole, The Edge of Love and a bunch of other films. But now, she refuses to comply anymore, when it comes to going all bare.
She cited that the reason was the birth of her second child. Even though she felt ‘completely comfortable’ back when she went all nude, she ‘doesn’t want to stand in front of a whole film crew anymore’ without covering herself. ‘Plus, nipples droop!’ she had joked. In 2019’s The Aftermath, Keira used a body double while shooting the sensual scenes.
Jenna Fischer
The Office star was a sensation back in the day. Although she has seldom been in the limelight ever since its finale, Jenna has made it clear that she wouldn’t do anything which she won’t be able to show her parents. And it’s perfectly fine, being able to make such a stand amidst all the paparazzi. Way to go Pam!
Emilia Clarke
Yes! Shocking it may seem, but the mother of dragons has stated that she might not consent to a nude scene anymore in her career. She admitted in an elaborate interview that she was terrified and uncomfortable while on the Game of Thrones set during the first few seasons, where she had multiple bare scenes. She proclaimed she’s a lot savvier now, refusing nude scenes right on set. Bravo!
Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba was very forthcoming when she said that she didn’t want her old folks at home to see her bare-chested. “That’s it, it would be weird at Christmas,” she cut off. She also didn’t deny the fact that her movies haven’t needed to show it all. They don’t, do they?
Mila Kunis
The Friends with Benefits star has surely gone partially topless in cinema but refuses to go au-naturale. It’s against her morale, even though a famous producer had once threatened her career if she refused to pose topless for a popular magazine. Mila stuck to her principles though, and it has done wonders for her career.
Emma Watson
Hermione Granger wasn’t just a role to Emma Watson. She aims to live by Hermione’s standards, on and off the screen. In an interview, she reportedly said that she’s isn’t going to get her kit off anytime soon or snort cocaine on any set. Well, we don’t want to be scarred seeing our little adorable witch baring it all out, do we?
Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson straight up stated that he didn’t want to feel insecure, showcasing his nut-sack. He joked that he didn’t know if it was formidable enough and that he would hire a d*ck-double if the need to ever arises. Well, we sure are incapable of changing Nick Fury’s mind, aren’t we?
