Celebrity “It’s partly vanity, and also it’s the male gaze, » she said in a recent interview. Over the last few years there’s been a focus on how actors are treated on film sets during intimate scenes. While they are of course just doing their job, some shots require actors to be very up close and personal, see Bridgerton and Normal People for example. Actor Keira Knightley has reportedly had a no nudity clause in her contracts since becoming a mum in 2015, per the BBC, and recently she has spoken in more detail about why she won’t appear in nude scenes for films that have a male director. Knightley joined Lulu Wang and Diane Solway on the Chanel Connects podcast to talk about the need for strong women behind and in front of the camera. During the interview she said, « I don’t have an absolute ban [on filming nude scenes], but I kind of do with men. It’s partly vanity, and also it’s the male gaze. » She went on to explain that the context of nudity is of paramount importance to her.
