I never thought Michael would do nudity BUT...


I was shocked on Saturday night when I saw him in a movie on Showtime--the Trouble With Bliss. A lingering butt shot.

Why isn't it on DVD?

Was it cute?

It's about an hour 20 minutes into it. He gets punched by a guy and he's in bed the next morning. He gets out of bed and walks to a wall (where he had previously kept a map). The camera pans up from his feet. You see his butt in almost a closeup while he's looking at the wall. It was totally gratuitous. His butt is a little wide and chunky. I was surprised, b/c his face doesn't look heavy.

As I said I never thought he would do nudity.

His butt always looks so cute in Dexter but never nude. Are you sure it wasn't a butt double? If they didn't show his face in the same frame as his butt, I would say butt double.

reply

No, it wasn't a double. It was very obvious that it was he. No cutaway shots.

Thanks for the info.

I went back and looked at the scene this afternoon and while you don't actually see his face (thus a body double is a possibility) the back of the man's head looks like MCH-and so does the pale skin. ALSO there is no listing for standins or doubles in the credits.

All in all, I think it was MCH.

Most actors like to get naked for the camara, some of them pretend they don't but even if they don't have a great body...they are usually exhibitionest. IMO.

reply

I don't think was a double since the "double" didn't have a great body--not too bad but certainly not that flattering.

Also does MCH wear a hairpiece?? I know he had cancer and I was wondering?? It looked like it in this movie filmed two yrs ago.
