10 Actors Who Refused To Use Body Doubles

Taking part in an intimate scene understandably has been known to be a rather complicated and oftentimes uncomfortable endeavour, with the art of making like you're the only two people in a room and getting up close and personal being a touch difficult with even a reduced crew on set aiming cameras and lighting at you.

Getting your kit off for a project that is likely to be beamed around the world can be a pretty daunting concept too, it has to be said.

That's why it's not exactly uncommon to hear of stars opting to give the intimacy a miss from time to time. But in the case of Kate Winslet, when appearing in 2020 romantic drama Ammonite, the actor felt that it was almost her duty to strip off and not rely on a double for her sex scenes opposite Saoirse Ronan.

Noting how women her age sometimes don't have the courage to bear it all and show their real selves in their 40s, Winslet told The Hollywood Reporter:

"I was just excited to say, "This is what it is, peeps. This is how I am now, and it’s very much not the body I had 20 years ago.""
