Connects podcast, Knightley said her decision to add a no nudity clause to her contract since becoming a mother was partly due to vanity.
“It’s the male gaze. If I was making a story that was about that journey of motherhood and body acceptance, I feel like, I’m sorry, but that would have to be with a female filmmaker,” Knightley said. “I don’t have an absolute ban, but I kind of do with men.” “I don’t want it to be those horrible sex scenes where you’re all greased up and everybody is grunting. I’m not interested in doing that,” Knightley continued. “I feel very uncomfortable now trying to portray the male gaze. Saying that, there’s times where I go, ‘Yeah, I completely see where this sex would be really good in this film and you basically just need somebody to look hot.
Both Knightley and Wang discussed how the ongoing coronavirus pandemic had disrupted their plans. Wang said she probably would already have been in Hong Kong at this time, prepping her shoot and scouting locations. Wang was referring to her Amazon original series “The Expatriates” that will follow the personal and professional lives of a group of expatriates in Hong Kong.
Knightley, who pulled out of the Apple TV Plus series “The Essex Serpent” last year due to family reasons during the pandemic, said she is due to film in and around London. Next up for the actor is comedy “Silent Night.”
Kudos to you, stand your ground Miss Knightly.
Ashley_Reynolds Hopefully she will address the shameful discrimination against plus sized male models
Ah hahaha...stupid article and statement by her.
Or you could shoot my screenplays. 22 stories with female leads, no nudity.
I guess it’s what makes you feel comfortable when you doing a love scene with loads of people around 🥰
If you read the piece you can see what really bothers her is that she's had two kids and she's vain (her own admission) and doesn't want to be naked anymore on camera. This whole gender director business is just her adding bits of virtue signals onto the story.
This is crazy because I've known feminist types who complained about men not making eye contact or ignoring them.
Closed sets for intimate scenes should have very few people nearby anyway, but, yes, anything she wants after this many years of bother.
Ridiculous.
all I'll say is a little small-minded to decide who someone is before even meeting them. probably is someone specific that made her feel this way. trauma has a way of resonating. didn't deal with how it made her feel to that person transference whatever makes you comfortable luv
Isn’t that sexism?
