Her 6 Rules For Onscreen Nudity

As she explains to Yahoo, Rossum has certain rules when it comes to doing onscreen nudity.
Rule #1: It Must Be Relevant

“We always have a closed set, and I only ever sign the waiver and do the scene if I feel like it’s really important to the story,” she said. “There have been times when I’ve said, ‘Nope, I don’t think that’s important to the story. I’m not gonna do it.’”

Rule #2: Prepare

“I always eat tuna fish and onions first,” she jokes.

Rule #3: Eyes Up Here, Mister

I’m kind of used to it by now, but a lot of times the boys that are coming in are worried about, like, are they supposed to just look me in the eyes? What should they do in between takes?

Rule #4: Ease Tension with Humor

“I just joke around and try to have some kind of fraternity humor with them so that they don’t feel like anything is more awkward than it should be. But, you know, it is awkward.”

Rule #5: No Props

“We don’t do fart cushions or anything like that, no,” she said. “But if I don’t make jokes it’s like crickets between takes. Both people just stare at the ceiling not talking.”

Rule #6: Unless It Is Necessary, Do Not Gaze Upon the Naked Flesh of Emmy Rossum

And the crew? “They all turn around and avert their eyes,” she says. “It’s very much awkward for everyone.”

Emmy Rossum shows her cute tittes by Gentle_Yente

Hollywood celebrities that have no problem with stripping down for the sake of art…or for large amounts of money!

There are plenty of Hollywood celebrities that have no problem with stripping down for the sake of art…or for large amounts of money!
But there quite a few celebrities we were shocked to find out had starred in nude scenes such as Sylvester Stallone, Reese Witherspoon, and “How I Met Your Mother” star Jason Segel.

Let’s take a peek at a few celebrities you might not have caught stripped down in television or film:


Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway, who admits she lacks the “sexy factor”, bared her breasts in the film “Love & Other Drugs”. She also went topless for the crime drama film “Havoc” in 2005.






Halle Berry



Oscar-winning actress stripped down in the film “Swordfish”, showing off her killer body.
She said of the topless scene, “It wasn’t a love scene. I could sit there by myself. No one was touching me. I was kind of just perched up there and it was all of three seconds and it was done. That, for me, felt like a better introduction than a steamy love scene.”






Christina Ricci




Christina Ricci had no problem with showing off her body in the movie “Black Snake Moan”.
Christina just stayed nude most of the time, saying, “I stayed the way I would be for the scene all the time – in order to get the crew really used to seeing me that way so that I was comfortable. Not only was I comfortable, but I would look at anybody’s face and not see them uncomfortable. Because if someone else is uncomfortable, it makes you feel like you’re doing something wrong.”






Amanda Seyfried



Amanda Seyfried not only went nude but got down with another woman (Julianne Moore) in the movie “Chloe”.






Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon, who is known for playing cutesy country-girl roles, went topless in the thriller “Twilight” in 1998. The actress later decided not to go nude after becoming a mother.
She said, “I’ve always been choosing roles knowing that I have a daughter and I have a responsibility to her and to the world to be representing women of strength.”





Noami Watts

Naomi Watts felt extremely uncomfortable filming “Mulholland Drive”, stating she “fell to pieces”.
Watts admits, “The masturbation scene was incredibly difficult, and was absolutely mortifying and humiliating;” she says of her shocking performance. It’s just a very difficult thing to do.”





Eva Mendes





Ryan Gosling’s girlfriend, Eva Mendes, had no issue with getting naked for her role in the film “Training Day” or “We Own the Night”.
Mendes said, “I’ve never had a problem with nudity. But I don’t put it out there without a reason. I’m not an exhibitionist. But, honestly, for my art I’ll do anything almost. I’ll go there.”





  Charlize Theron



Charlize Theron will strip down for roles, but the Oscar-winning star only goes naked if it is needed to play the character well.
The actress, who starred in “2 Days in the Valley” nude, said, “I don’t think about it as nudity. I think about it as, ‘Is this the right thing for the character? Is this the right choice?’”





  Sylvester Stallone


“Rocky” and “Rambo” star Sylvester Stallone went more than just nude! The action star starred in a porno called “The Italian Stallion”! Stallone was paid $200 for two days work.




Michelle Williams, Jennifer Podemski and Sarah Silverman

These ladies teamed up in the film “Take This Waltz” with a shocking nude shower scene that got quite “hairy”. Sorry, couldn’t resist!




Seth Rogen



Seth Rogen starred in the comedy “Zach and Miri Make a Porno” where he was nude. But, he also was butt-naked in “Knocked Up” with Katherine Heigl.
Seth said of his nude scenes, “I was fine with it. I was ready for anything. I have no shame about it. It’s fine. If it’s funny, yeah, I will probably do it. If I genuinely think it’s funny, there is a good chance I’ll do it”.





Maggie Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal’s sister doesn’t mind taking it all off in her career. She starred in the dark comedy “Secretary” opposite James Spader in 2002.
The actress said, “”[Nudity] doesn’t freak me out that much. The thing that is a little strange for me about nudity is when it’s taken out of context… For instance, there’s one photograph of me that for some reason got out, it’s not naked but I’m like in a bathtub in ‘Secretary’, and you don’t see any of my body but I feel very exposed and I won’t sign that picture, whereas in the movie being totally naked I feel comfortable.”




Rosario Dawson

Rosario Dawson played the role of Roxanne in the Oliver Stone film “Alexander”. She starred alongside Colin Farrell and said stripping down wasn’t too hard with her hot star.
She jokingly said, “It’s too bad Colin is so ugly and just so uncoordinated and lacks any kind of talent and thrashed me off the bed. It was awful.”



Jason Segel



Jason Segel went full-frontal nude in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”, when Kristen Bell broke up him when he was completely nude.

You had to cringe a bit as Segel stood there totally bare as his girlfriend broke his heart in the movie.
