Recent rumors suggest that Henry Cavill’s The Witcher exit is due to the creative differences with the maker with respect to the excessively revealing romantic scenes in the series. Many conjectured that in an attempt to make Geralt closer to the book version, Cavill fought back against the recurrent shirtless and n*de scenes. However, before him, his ex-girlfriend Kaley Cuoco also came across a similar dilemma. And this is how she chose to deal with it.
On several occasions, many Hollywood celebrities have opened up about their views on n*dity and s*x in Hollywood movies. While many revealed that all of it is uncomfortable, some have clearly refused to perform any such scenes in their movies. In fact, a few of them have a strict no-n*dity clause in their contracts.
How did Kaley Cuoco deal with the s*x scenes in her Peacock film
While talking about her Peacock movie Based on a True Story, Kaley Cuoco revealed that she isn’t keen on doing all ‘that stuff.’ In fact, the actress shared that she had a body double to perform the s*x scenes in the movie. While talking to USA Today, Cuoco said,
“I don’t roll that way. I need someone else to do that stuff. I’m past that. I’m not doing that anymore. … Also, who wants to see that? Not my thing. I’d rather let someone else do it, and that’s what’s movie magic [is for]. We don’t have to do those things anymore. We can have someone else do it, and we can fake our way through.”
Although many actors are against n*dity in a movie in general, Cuoco’s statements hint that she doesn’t have a problem with it as far as it is the demand of the script and she isn’t the one who has to do it.
But Kaley Cuoco showed the fans a unique part of her life in the movie
Interestingly, Kaley Cuoco was actually pregnant during the shoot of Based on a True Story. A story about a real estate agent and her tennis-star husband who are struggling financially when they realize they are having a child, the movie is about the launch of a crime podcast by the couple.
Before the shoot, the makers asked Cuoco to eat more and gain weight, which allowed the pregnant actress to indulge in In-N-Out burgers and share her natural pregnancy journey with her audiences.
“You’ve seen every part of my life − good and bad − in front of everyone. And so it was kind of cool to show this too. Why not? Why not just own it and wear short shirts and let my stomach hang out? I did the swimsuit scene, and I did all these different things, and it felt right. And I’m very proud of it, and I hope it inspires other women to be like, ‘It’s fine. We can still do it all.’”
Hence, even though Cuoco might not be interested in going all out during intimate scenes on-screen, she has no problem accepting and even proudly flaunting her real body to the world.
