It seems that the acting profession involves complete submission to the vision and requirements of the director. However, among the stellar representatives of the profession, there are those who, under no pretext, will agree to act in explicit scenes. Some actresses immediately include in the cooperation agreement a clause about the impossibility of appearing in the frame in the nude, others simply present the director with a fact: no love scenes.

Julia Roberts

Millions of viewers remembered Julia Roberts as Vivienne's moth in Pretty Woman. In this romantic comedy, the actress seems to have had to give up her principles more than once or twice. But, as it turns out, in all the scenes where you can see Julia Roberts in the nude, the stunt girl Shelley Michelle was filmed instead of Julia herself. The actress admitted: as a mother of three children, she feels that she is right. In addition, the incomparable beauty has always believed that playing in clothes is an art, but filming without it can be considered a documentary film.

Jessica Alba

They invite stunt doubles for filming in explicit scenes and for Jessica Alba. She can appear in the frame in beautiful lingerie, but full nudity for the actress is a taboo. She herself explains this simply: neither relatives, nor three children should see Jessica without clothes. Moreover, she feels complete defenselessness in the nude. By the way, in the movie "Machete" the actress starred in tight-fitting flesh-colored underwear. But after the CG masters completely "undressed" Jessica Alba.

Scarlett Johansson

In her contracts for filming, Scarlett Johansson included a clause on the ban on filming in the nude as early as 22 years old. All attempts by the directors to persuade the actress to film without clothes ended in failure. She herself commented on her refusal only once, stating: she will not show her body until she is convinced of the absolute necessity of this. Until then, the fear of "getting caught up in something dubious" makes her refuse to shoot in explicit scenes.

Reese Witherspoon

A charming blonde who has played beauties in movies more than once, in fact, she is reputed to be a principled shy in Hollywood. She does not want to be perceived as a beautiful object, and not as a person. Reese Witherspoon admitted how difficult it was for her to shoot in the movie "Wild", which was attended by explicit scenes. She experienced incredible fear not only in intimate but also in emotional scenes. True, the actress also has a stunt girl who enters the frame nude instead of Reese.

Megan Fox

This actress is called one of the most erotic actresses of our time, and she is so insecure that she does not want to be naked in the frame. She is horrified by the thought of how she will look at herself from the side and shudder with disgust. For some reason, Megan Fox thinks: her figure is too far from perfect.

Emma Watson

For the actress, the role of Hermione Granger, played in "Harry Potter", is so dear that she is ready to preserve the image of a diligent girl until the end of her days. Emma Watson admits: she is incredibly proud of her first works in films, and therefore does not want to disappoint fans, and even more so - to shock them by participating in explicit scenes.

Sarah Jessica Parker

The star of the popular series not only does not act naked herself, but does not even allow the thought that someone might appear in the frame without clothes instead of her. The actress explains this with her natural modesty and recognition of the imperfection of her own body. In her contract, the clause on the prohibition of filming in the nude always remains unchanged, and even fabulous fees will not force her to change her principles. When, during filming, the producers actually forced Sarah Jessica Parker to take off her clothes, she almost agreed under their incredible pressure. When it came to undressing, the actress really cried. Fortunately, at that moment, the actress's agent intervened and stopped the abuse of her.

Cameron Diaz

She began her film career by filming adult films, but today nothing can make Cameron Diaz naked in the frame. She categorically refuses to participate in intimate scenes, and instead of the actress, the stunt double Alice Hensley is filmed in them. Operators diligently select angles so that even the most sophisticated viewer could not notice the substitution.

Mila Kunis

The actress does not exclude the possibility of acting without clothes, but sometime in the future. So far, in intimate scenes, a stunt double is naked in the frame instead of her. Even during the filming of the romantic comedy, where the actress worked on the set with Justin Timberlake himself, Mila Kunis did not change herself. In one of her interviews, she recalled the threats of the producer, who promised to close her way to a big movie if she refused to undress. But even then Mila Kunis did not begin to strip in front of the camera.

Blake Lively

The charming Serena van der Woodsen from the TV series "Gossip Girl" has an impeccable reputation, which she is very proud of, and therefore does not want to spoil her by agreeing to be naked in the frame. Blake Lively considers nudity too intimate and, even for the sake of art, is not ready to take off her clothes, demonstrating truly flawless curves of her own body.

For the most part, we are used to seeing cinema as entertainment. Nevertheless, it is also a powerful conductor of ideology, ranging from political ideas to the standards of human relations. As an art that makes extensive use of visual footage, cinema actively shaped the concept of female beauty. However, the heroines of different eras themselves actively promoted the images they created at the "dream factory".
