Julia Roberts: Why I chose not to ‘take off my clothes’ in a movie
New York Post ^ | Jan. 11, 2024 | Nicki Cox

Julia Roberts has been in over 50 movies during her decades-long career in Hollywood — yet she hasn’t done a gone au naturale in any of them.

During her new cover story with British Vogue, published Thursday, the iconic actress, 56, revealed that she has purposely avoided taking any racy roles in order to have a “G-rated career.” When asked if she has “any feelings of responsibility to other women” when choosing scripts, the “Pretty Woman” star told interviewer Richard Curtis that it’s more about what she “chooses not to do.”

“You know, not to be criticizing others’ choices, but for me to not take off my clothes in a movie or be vulnerable in physical ways is a choice that I guess I make for myself,” she explained. “But in effect, I’m choosing not to do something as opposed to choosing to do something.” The actress also revealed that she may have inherited her firm stance on feminism from distant cousin Gloria Steinem.

Yep....like I said.

Also, he’s a better actor IMO and never got the breaks she did. I wonder why? 🤔

Reportedly used a body double filming “Pretty Woman”
Not a good indicator

She reminded me of Elisabeth Shue

Beautiful women

We saw this movie on pay TV. I warned my girls, then teens, that you don’t find her stylish type walking the streets looking for men. What you find are skanks.

Good for her! When every other movie has gratuitous nudity and the obligatory anal sex scene, it’s good someone has some boundaries, anyway.

Nudity isn’t as unclean as playing a hooker.

>>Roberts once expressed her hatred for Republicans by stating something to the effect “you can find Republicans in the dictionary somewhere between Reptile and Repugnant.”<<

I remember that. I agree with you 100%. I think Julia is
the one who is REPUGNANT.

Not even a pirate’s treasure, “Sunken chest and big booty”. And that weird simper smile that always looks like someone’s little sister.

She’s odd looking. She doesn’t have that “next door girl” look.

“Was it a horror movie?...................”

About 40 years ago James Garner was asked by Barbara Walters (IIRC) if he would appear nude in a film.

“I don’t do horror films” was his response. Priceless, perfectly delivered, deadpan quip. Never forgot it.

She does deserve credit for that decision.

I'm no prude, believe me, but I think that 99% of nudity and sex scenes in mainstream Hollywood films are gratuitous and unnecessary. Worse, they distract from the story line and break up the flow.

I think they're an anachronism from the days when porn was much more difficult to come by so a little T&A on late-night HBO was meant to scratch that itch. These days, it's totally pointless. If I want to watch nudity or people having sex, there's plenty of outlets to see the real thing.

Case in point, my wife and I really enjoy the Starz series "Outlander" but for the first five seasons, every single episode had a nude love scene in it. They got old quickly and we'd fast-forward through them. Not out of prudery but because they were like a commercial. They interrupted the story and we wanted to get back to the show.

I’ve seen an outtake from Grumpy Old Men, the scene where Walter Matthau is sitting in the bathtub. He turned to the camera and said “When they told me they wanted me to be in a picture with Ann Margaret, and it involved nudity, I never thought they meant mine.
