I recalled the other day that my last post on movie nudity got a lot of attention and interesting opinions. So I decided it would be good to delve into the subject of cinematic nudity once. This time around, I’m asking which actors and actresses appear to strip off a lot in their movies? If I had a body like some of the top stars, I’m sure I’d be fine getting naked on screen. But I digress, I will now mention the stars that in my opinion, seem very comfortable in taking it off for the screen.
This guy appears very at ease with his body and is more than willing to be seen on celluloid in the buff.
The beautiful and hugely talented Miss Moore is also comfortable on doing nude scenes with a tastefulness and honesty.
Kate Winslet:
Elegance, supreme acting chops and confidence fill Kate Winslet, who has done many a nude scene and had no difficulty shedding clothes for the camera.
Matthew McConaughey:
I’ll admit if I had a body like this guy, I wouldn’t feel the need to wear a shirt ever. I mean just look at the guy.
A classy lady and marvellous actress, Helen Mirren has never shied away from going nude, only recently saying she’s retired her body from the screen.
So do you agree with my choices? Or do you think there are other stars who parade on screen in the buff.

I know Charlotte Rampling who is well over 60 has intentionally taken roles that require nudity simply to prove that people over 50 can have sex and looked good naked. I remember seeing her in ‘Swimming Pool’ at the theaters back in 2003 in Skokie, Illinois. It was an afternoon matinee and senior discount, so a lot of old people in the theater including an 89-year-0ld woman with a walker who sat right next to me. During the course of the movie there was a lot of nudity from the film’s younger star, but to my surprise none of the old timers objected to it, but when Ms. Rampling took off her clothes near the end the lady next to me went ‘oh dear’ and a hush went over the whole group. I admit I was reluctant to see her nude too presuming at her age she wouldn’t look too good, but to my surprise she wasn’t bad. I found it funny though that the seniors reacted like the rest of us. Nudity with young good-looking people is okay, but older performers that were more their age was bad.
