Hollywood is full of surprises, and sometimes that means celebrities going nude on camera. Whether it’s for a movie, TV show, or just to make a scene feel real, these stars have bared it all. Here’s a list of 10 celebrities who’ve gone naked for their craft, with a little about why they did it and how it turned out.
Sydney Sweeney
Sydney Sweeney got a lot of attention for her role in “Euphoria.” Playing Cassie, she had some nude scenes that showed off her fearless acting. She’s also popped up naked in movies like “The Voyeurs.” Sydney says she’s cool with it when it fits the story, and fans definitely noticed her bold choices.
Oscar Isaac
Oscar Isaac shocked viewers in “Scenes from a Marriage” on HBO. In one episode, he went full-frontal nude—something he didn’t totally plan. His co-star Jessica Chastain wanted them to match in vulnerability, so Oscar went for it. He later laughed about how much ended up on screen, but it made the show feel raw and real.
Rooney Mara
Rooney Mara starred in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” and one tough scene had her fully nude. It was a brutal moment in the story, not just for show, and Rooney’s commitment made it hit hard. She’s all about diving deep into her characters, and this was proof.
Viggo Mortensen
Viggo Mortensen went nude in “Eastern Promises” during a wild fight scene in a bathhouse. He didn’t have to, but he thought it made sense for his tough-guy role. The result? A gritty, unforgettable moment that had everyone talking.
Juno Temple
Juno Temple stripped down in “Killer Joe” alongside Matthew McConaughey. Her full-frontal scene wasn’t shy, and it fit the movie’s dark, edgy vibe. Juno’s not afraid to push limits, and this role showed she’s got guts.
Kathryn Hahn
In “Agatha All Along,” Kathryn Hahn surprised fans by going nude. The script didn’t demand it—she was supposed to wear a robe—but she chose to drop it to show her character’s emotional nakedness. It was a small moment that made a big impact.
Margot Robbie
Margot Robbie went all out in “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Her nude scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio were bold and unscripted at times. She wanted her character to feel real and powerful, and it worked—people still talk about it.
Kelly Preston
Back in “Mischief,” Kelly Preston did a full-frontal scene that caught eyes. It was a lighthearted ‘80s flick, and her choice added some playful spice. Kelly owned it, making it a standout in her early career.
Eva Mendes
Eva Mendes got naked in “We Own the Night,” but here’s the twist: she improvised it. The script didn’t call for it, but she felt it suited the moment with Joaquin Phoenix. It gave the scene extra heat and showed her confidence.
Carice van Houten
Carice van Houten, aka Melisandre from “Game of Thrones,” went full-frontal in a few episodes. Her nudity tied into her mysterious, magical character. Carice played it with total calm, making it more about power than shock.
These stars prove that going nude on camera isn’t just about showing skin—it’s about telling a story. Some planned it, some winged it, but they all made their scenes unforgettable. What do you think—would you take the risk for a role?
