While a lot of actresses have been taking a hardline stance against nudity lately, Stacy Martin made some statements at the Venice Film Festival that lead us to believe that she’ll be going nude on film for a long time to come. The Nymphomaniac star was in Venice to promote two new films, and of course, the talk soon turned to nudity since she did make her screen and nude debuts in the same film. Martin said, essentially that while she’s not going to go around seeking out roles that require her to be nude, if the right role does come along, she’s game! Despite the copious sex scenes (in Nymphomaniac ), it didn’t faze her; nudity, she says, is something she’ll do “for the right reasons” if it came up again. “I don’t believe in gratuitous nudity. Or sexuality in a way that is discriminating to women, or even men!” she adds. “My body is my body, and if it’s part of the story and it’s justified… you have to honour what’s written. But never do it if it’s pointless – and a lot of it is – so you have to be very careful.” Aspiring writers out there take note… If you want Stacy Martin to get nude in your film, just make sure it’s an integral part of the plot.
