Stars who opened up about going full frontal nudity on screen, on stage

Theo Jacobus, Dakota Johnson and more actors have opened up about their nude scenes – and demolished the experience of performing full frontal.

James raised eyebrows with his performance as Cameron during season 2 of The white lotus, especially in a memorable scene where Harper (Aubrey Plaza) accidentally glanced at Cameron (James) while he was undressing.

James didn’t want his “pee-pee prosthetic” to be too “distracting” for the audience. ‘He must be [a] regular Joe because the scene is not about the pee, but about power play during sex [and] whether he did it intentionally or whether it was an accident,” he said during an appearance in December 2022 The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

For her part, Johnson has also been candid about playing Anastasia in the film version of EL James‘ 50 shades of grey trilogy. During its release, the films made headlines for their explicit sex scenes.

“It’s stressful enough being tied naked to a bed in a scene,” the actress revealed Glamour in 2015 about the filming of the sex scenes. ‘But then they shout cut, and you’re still tied to the bed, naked. Jamie [Dornan] would be the first to throw a blanket over me.”
