The actor had to deal with a frontal nude scene in Guillermo del Toro’s new film, and it wasn’t easy

In the new film directed by Guillermo del Toro, actor Bradley Cooper appears in full and frontal nude during a sex scene with his colleague Toni Collette, respectively as the characters of Stanton Carlisle and Zeena Krumbein. For Cooper, the performance was not a walk in the park, as stated in an interview with KCRW’s The Business program: “We needed to be naked, emotionally and deeply, but in my case also physically: it was pretty heavy, but there was no there was nothing gratuitous about that. It was for the story. ”. The shooting times are very different from those of the shot we see in the film, in fact, to create the famous nude scene Cooper had to remain without clothes for six hours in front of the whole crew.

Oscar hunt

The commitment required by an author like Guillermo del Toro huge, but Bradley Cooper realized that his adventure in the nude was necessary for the story they were telling. A solid friendship was born between the interpreter and the director, which now also binds them outside the set. The role of Carlisle in “Nightmare Alley” could even be worth the much-deserved Oscar award that is still missing in his career, but in 2022 the one with del Toro is only one of the actor’s possible opportunities, who also appears in “Licorice Pizza” by Paul Thomas Anderson. The latter still lacks a release date at the cinema in Italy, while “Nightmare Alley” will be released in theaters on January 27 under the title “The Fair of Illusions”.
