Topless 20 year old? And they thought this was okay?


Natasha Henstridge was only 20 when this was shot and she is doing topless scenes and sex scenes.

How'd anyone think this okay?

True, we only want to see your grandma topless.

Topless in a Hopice

I deleted my previous comment some time ago, by accident, but was able to remember me joke!

I wouldn't say I personally approve of such scenes or that such exploitative nudity is remotely to my taste.

But, at 20-years-old, Natasha was no longer a teenager. Yes, she was young, and there's always a fear that young women are exploited and coerced into doing nudity in movies, but the fact she was 20, and thus had already been legally recognised as an adult for two years, is not a cause for alarm in itself. If she'd been 16/17 (or, suffice to say, younger), I'd be much more concerned.

I supposed 18 on up is an adult. But, some behavior is not okay at any age. Also, I realize that sexual harassment is way different than nudity while playing a scene in a movie.

HarveyManFredSin, I find your nom de plume or should it be nom de moviechat very curious and ,perhaps, telling.

It's okay because she was 20. How does anyone think this is problematic ?

This might be a parody OP of those 'concerned citizen' posts. Sarcasm is hard to gauge on the internet sometimes.

reply

You're probably right.

There needs to be an emoji for that.

Are you insane? Why would a naked 20 year old be a problem? Everyone knows the moment the clock hits midnight on their 18th birthday, girls magically become women, their boobs suddenly grow and they can’t put guys in prison just for touching their boobs a few minutes earlier.

So getting stark naked onscreen is no big deal. Well, it’s a big deal for us guys because we love seeing girls we totally ignored until the clock hit midnight on their 18th birthday finally get naked.

reply

Yeah but in 2023, people would be concerned if a 20 year was cast to play a woman who does naked sex scenes incase she's been taken advantage of.

reply

Only naive, oppressed people wanting to oppress and censor others.

reply

I am guessing you are against pornography in general as well.

reply

20 is a legal adult, stfu. You do realize young women can do porn legally when they're 18+, right? I think you're trolling/being sarcastic or you're just a complete dumb ass.

reply

I am betting complete dumb ass.

reply

Even though she is "legal", she's still not legal enough to have a glass of wine with her dinner. Think about that.

reply

That is the dumbest comment I have ever read, you're obviously the latter from my last post: a complete dumb ass. Please get off the internet. Think about that.

reply

She was beautiful in the movie. She was a model / actress who agreed to do the part and I'm sure knew there was nudity upfront so what's the problem?

reply

Surely your joking.
