It's not just the audience that is tired of explicit sex scenes and nudity. Many celebrities are now speaking out against the nudity culture in movies. Here are just a few of the celebrities who have spoken out in interviews against the need for explicit nudity in movies, or have included “no nudity clauses” in their contracts, fighting back against the orgies and soft porn that studios want to produce for them:
Henry Cavill
Superman said that sex scenes are vulgar in a recent interview to promote his film. ArgyleCavill agreed with director Matthew Vaughn that he's uncomfortable filming sex scenes. “It's like, 'Take your clothes off and get in bed.' Is that acting? I think it is,” Cavill added. “There are times when sex scenes can actually be beneficial to the film, but I think they've been overdone lately. I think it's when you start to feel like, is it really necessary or is it just because they're not wearing clothes?” Cavill later added that he's “not a fan” of sex scenes, and made it clear that he has no plans to do any extensive nudity anytime soon.
Victoria Justice
Cavill isn't the only one who finds sex scenes uncomfortable. victory Star Victoria Justice had to film a sex scene on the first day of filming. Falland she wasn't happy about it. “I think people think that filming a sex scene or an intimate scene is super sexy, and it's not,” Justice explained. “It's honestly just uncomfortable, and there's a bunch of strange men in the room, breathing and looking at you.” Though Justice felt that her director helped her pull off the scene with “flair,” she was left with questions: “Did I make the wrong choice? I don't know if I should be doing this.”

And there are enough sex scenes out there, and I'm in my 50s, and I don't know if anybody wants to watch that, but it's a relief. I'm just not very comfortable doing that sort of thing.” Not only has McDonough turned down sex scenes, which has cost him Hollywood roles, but he also refuses to kiss any women other than his wife.
Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts may seem to have done it all in her 35-year, Oscar-winning acting career, but excessive nudity isn't one of them. “I don't mean to criticize other people's choices, but for me, it's a choice I've made myself not to take off my clothes or to be physically vulnerable in my movies,” Roberts said in a recent interview. Roberts' nudity rules have led to the use of body doubles in her previous films, and many of her film scenes are tailored to her standards. In 2009, she reportedly performed an explicit sex scene in “The Movie.” duplicity “It's not something I actually do, so if you ask me to do it, you have to be prepared to keep it low-key.

Parker's contracts have always had a “no nudity” clause, but not everyone was willing to respect her wishes. On one project, Parker recalled being pressured to the point of tears to get naked on camera. “They were like, 'Sarah Jessica is going to be nude tomorrow,' and I was like, 'I'm not going to be nude.'” Despite Hollywood's pressure to be more revealing, Parker is grateful for the support she received from people like her agent, saying, “My agent sent a car and a plane ticket for me.” [to the film set] And he said, “If someone makes you do something you don't want to do, then you shouldn't do it.”

She added, “When you choose to be with someone that way, it's very intimate. It's like you're breathing on someone.” Alba also has a “no nudity” clause in her contract, saying, “I don't want my grandparents to see my breasts. That's it.
