For American actresses, the worst that can happen when shooting a nude scene is an unflattering angle or disapproving parents. For Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani, however, briefly baring her breast in the commercial Corps et Ames for the Cesar Awards (France’s answer to the Oscars) means she can’t go home again. No, really- the Iranian government has told her not to come back . As Farahani told Britain’s Daily Telegraph : “I was told by a Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guide official [after shooting the commercial] that Iran does not need any actors or artists. You may offer your artistic services somewhere else” , she said. Farahani, a star in her native Iran, relocated to Paris last year to escape Iranian cinema’s oppressive moral code, so at least she hasn’t been left homeless. But it’s a chilling reminder that in some places, going bare means risking much more than embarrassment. Golshifteh, we salute you! See the original commercial after the jump!
