Sad News: Ewan McGregor Is DONE With Nude Scenes

While I have never personally seen Ewan McGregor’s nude scenes (which is CRAZY if you think about it because the dude has been nude in four films: ”Trainspotting,” “The Pillow Book,” “Velvet Goldmine” and “Young Adam), I am all for men swinging their junk around on the big screen. But that’s only because for YEARS we have only seen women naked in film and I’m all for equal opportunities.
But sadly, Ewan McGregor is DONE with nude scenes in film. For real. I would never lie about such horrific news:
“I’m getting older and the actresses stay younger,” he told the paper. “I don’t want to become Clint Eastwood, where his love interests seem 50 years younger than him. You never want female co-stars to feel like you’re taking advantage of the situation. Anyhow, sex scenes are terribly exposing and rarely of any use in learning about character.”
Wow. That’s very classy of him to not want female co-stars to feel like they are being taken advantage of. However I think that you can thank the pervy producers for the sex scene set up.

I agree with Ewan: it’s rarely of any use. I don’t buy this crap that ‘it was integral to tell the story’. Bitch, please. Since when do you learn more about a person because they strut around nude? Sure if the movie is about an orgy, then I can see why the nudity works, but otherwise it always seems to me to be gratuitous.
I just think the people behind the making of such films do it for their own jerking off material. Last year he talked to ‘Out Magazine’ where he talked about what it was like on the film set of the movie ‘The Pillow Book’:
“There’s tons of sex in that film. We didn’t even bother putting clothes on between scenes,” he said. “I had quite a full-on sex scene with a 75-year-old Japanese guy. We’re kissing, and I remember going, He’s got a mustache and that’s kind of weird. Oh! That’s definitely a scrotum. That’s odd.”
I’m definitely going to rent that movie! So while we mourn the fact that Ewan McGregor is DONE with nude scenes *sniff sniff* he hasn’t rule out ‘romance’:
“I’m always interested in playing different people, in different situations. It doesn’t matter to me whether someone is in love with a man or a woman. I find the idea of love and romance interesting. I’m a sucker for it. I like playing someone who’s falling in love because I like the sensation of it.”
What do you think about nude scenes? Necessary or gratuitous?
