Emma Stone in "The Informant"

Return to Discussions

I think we've all read about one actress or another regretting a nude scene, but being naked in The Favourite was an artistic choice for Emma Stone:

During one scene, when Sarah discovers Abigail in bed with Queen Anne, she decided to improvise in a way that shocked even Lanthimos, to say nothing of Colman. "I had the sheet up around me," recalls Stone of the moment she decided to bare her breasts for the camera for the first time in her career. "And as we were shooting it and we did a few takes, I said, 'Can I please just be [naked]?' I think it's going to give Sarah something to look at when she sees that I'm not just under the sheet covered up. Olivia was like, 'No, don't do it!' Yorgos was like, 'Are you sure that's what you want to do?' And I was like, 'Absolutely.' I chose to do it. I was like, this makes sense to me. It's an absolute [Stone flips the bird] to Sarah."

That brought to mind Julie Delpy in "Before Midnight." Apparently her "topless argument" with Ethan Hawke wasn't even written in the script; but she felt it fit the situation and the character perfectly.



As much as I can admire some "bold" decisions to be nude onscreen, doing it to be true to the craft and the character, when it is not compulsory or financially motivated, is even more of a credit to the actor/actress.
