Alice Eve on Why She's Not Bothered About On-Screen Nudity
British actress Alice Eve has never shied away from a challenging role, and she's recently made it clear that taking her clothes off for a part is just part of the job. In a refreshingly honest interview, the Star Trek Into Darkness star said she has "no problem" with filming nude scenes, arguing that if the character calls for it, she's perfectly happy to do it.
Part of the Job
Talking about her approach to more revealing roles, the 43-year-old Londoner took a down-to-earth view of nudity in film. Her thinking is simple: if you've got a body, there's no reason to hide it when the story requires it.
"If you've got flesh then it should be shown," she said, suggesting that the human body is just another tool actors use in their work.
Eve's comments come at a time when debates about unnecessary nudity in Hollywood are fiercer than ever. However, she's standing firm in her belief that being comfortable in your own skin—literally—is a basic part of the profession.
Sticking to Her Guns
Alice Eve is no stranger to controversy about her appearance. Years back, she found herself in the middle of a massive social media row following a scene in Star Trek where she appeared in her underwear. Whilst critics slammed the scene as pointless at the time, Eve has always defended it, saying she'd worked incredibly hard to get into top physical shape for the role and felt proud to show it.
For Eve, the choice to strip off isn't about chasing attention; it's about being authentic. She sees the body not as something to be embarrassed about, but as something to be celebrated and used to tell a story properly.
The Modern Actress
In an age where many stars are becoming more careful about their public image and how they're portrayed, Eve's no-nonsense British approach feels quite old-school. By treating nudity as a professional requirement rather than a personal scandal, she's taking back control of the conversation around women's bodies on screen.
Whether she's in a big-budget blockbuster or a low-budget independent film, it seems Alice Eve is set on doing things her own way—and if that means showing a bit of skin, she's not losing any sleep over it.
