So why the history lesson on male full-frontal nudity in film now? It seems to be the case that this winter, if there is one in-your-face trend at the cinema, it’s men baring it all-from the front, particularly-on camera. We’ve come a long way since 1980, but there still haven’t been many major Hollywood moments in which the actors show everything on screen (actresses, on the other hand, have been exposed far more often, especially topless). But because of that role, Gere almost instantly became a sex symbol. (And about eight years ago, the actor told the Advocate the nudity wasn’t even written in the original script). Back then, it was considered a bold move for him to not only appear in a film with so much queer subtext, but also to show his penis several times on camera when it hadn’t been done before, outside of pornography.
Neither did The New York Times, nor Rolling Stone.īut if you ask just about anyone who saw that film in theaters in 1980, Gere-who had only just begun to make a name for himself as a stage actor with a few small film credits-appearing fully naked was the central takeaway. Oddly enough, though, Roger Ebert’s review doesn’t mention Gere’s full-frontal nudity once. Schrader’s treatment on male loneliness is another element of the film (and in many of his following features) that was commended by critics. In the film, Gere plays an escort involved with the wife of a politician when it was first released, critics and audiences praised American Gigolo for its stylish neo-noir take on a seedy, hypersexual Los Angeles. And how is this happening now? And I still think I'm just reeling from it all.In 1980, a young Richard Gere did something never before shown in mainstream American cinema by any well-known Hollywood actor: he appeared on screen, fully nude, in multiple scenes of Paul Schrader’s American Gigolo. I'll be in a hotel room by myself and I just start cracking up because it's kind of like, life is just a big cosmic joke. "So if you add, on top of that, this amazing highlight of my career, it just adds to the weirdness of it all. He explained: "It's been very surreal, because we've all been living in this strange time together, in this Twilight Zone pandemic, strange times collectively that we're all in.

The movie has marked a career resurgence for the former model and he admitted his sudden return to success has been "very surreal". We somehow got away with it for eight months. "And at that point, after we won the Spirit Award, I said, 'It's time to tell people.' We did this for eight months. we agreed that we were going to keep it mysterious, and not say whether or not that was really me naked. "I just had fun with it, and me and Sean Baker. Speaking about making the admission when he accepted Best Male Lead at the Film Independent Spirit Awards, he said: "I finally had to let it be known.
Simon - who plays a con man and former porn star in the movie - only confirmed last month that he wore a prosthesis for his nude scenes and was amazed he "got away with it" for so long. When asked if he would donate the piece to the newly=opened Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, he added to People magazine: "I like that idea." He said: "I don't think was an option, but it will be in a museum one day." The 48-year-old actor donned a prosthetic for his role in 'Red Rocket' and because he "wasn't allowed" to take it home as a souvenir at the end of filming, he likes the idea of it being put on display instead. Simon Rex wants to donate his fake penis to a museum.
