Hollywood celebrities have all sorts of tales about stripping off in front of the camera. Most of your favorite performers have let it all hang out in the nude or during orchestrated sex scenes at some point, contributing to some of the most famous scenes in cinematic history. Please understand that we never, ever support forcing celebrities into inappropriate nudity or supporting films that rely on objectifying women's bodies in place of, example, giving them lines.
Since Hollywood has become considerably more adept at handling these delicate situations, intimacy coordinators are now there to safeguard the performers' safety while they are working. Nudity can do so much for a movie when everyone is on the same page, and we love hearing what the actors who have gone completely nude for their parts have to say about the experience.

Denise Richards
Denise Richards and co-star Neve Campbell both appeared fully nude in a threesome scene in the 1998 film Wild Things. Richards discussed the movie in detail on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills many years later.
According to Decider, Richards stated that it was simpler when there was only her and herself (Campbell). "You just feel like you'll protect each other and you know different things you don't want, that kind of stuff," Richards added. But another aspect of that scene that wasn't any simpler was realizing that crew members were saying, "Oh, two chicks are kissing."
Richards also recalled her mother's assistance throughout. She recalled that her mother had actually instructed her to "just do it" if she felt it would advance her career.

Salma Hayek exposed herself completely on screen for Frida, but not because she wanted to be filmed in her underwear. Hayek revealed that Harvey Weinstein, who produced the movie, threatened to eject her from the set unless "I agreed to do a sex scene with another lady," in an opinion piece she wrote for The New York Times. He also asked for full-frontal nudity.
She wrote, "For the first and last time in my career, I had a nervous breakdown: My body started to shake uncontrollably, my breath was short, and I began to cry and cry, unable to stop, as if I were throwing up tears... " in a devastating account of the day she had to film the scene. I wouldn't be naked with another lady, therefore that was not the reason. It was because Harvey Weinstein would see me in my undies with her.
