January 2012 W Magazine Features Carey Mulligan Talking About Nudity In New Film “Shame”
January 2012 W Magazine Features Carey Mulligan Talking About Nudity In New Film “Shame.” On the cover of the magazine it shows Mulligan wearing a white bra and a dress pulled down to her elbows. There is also a tagline that reads, “Carey Mulligan: Naughty But Nice – The star of Shame sheds her good-girl image.” Mulligan new film titled “Shame” shows a completely different side of the young 26 year old actress.
When asked to talk about her full frontal nude scene in the new film, Mulligan revealed, “I’ve never been comfortable with the idea of nudity. I’ve done only seminude, very innocent things in the past, and I’ve always been of the quite British mind-set that I won’t do gratuitous nudity. When it came to this, it just seemed so obvious that she is the sort of person who would have no trouble being naked in front of any family member, especially not her brother. She’s an extrovert and wants to be seen. More than anything, she wants someone to acknowledge and help her. I thought I had a week before the nude scene to go to the gym, but we shot it on my first day of filming.”
“Through a Glass Darkly” was one of the roles she played a role in where she had to be in the nude, but she was able to show off only her top goodies. Mulligan explains, “No, I was topless in the play. In the script, she was naked, but I dreaded the idea of being naked onstage. When I’ve seen plays with actors who are nude, I’ve always thought, Gosh, that actor’s naked. I wonder how they feel about being naked. Then two minutes later, you fall back into the play. Through a Glass Darkly is not very long, and I didn’t want the audience to stop and think, Oh, she’s naked—I wonder if she feels funny. So we modified it.”
Mulligan’s character didn’t care too much about her appearance and she felt sort of happy not to have to worry about her appearance often for the film. She explains, “I didn’t have to worry about what I ate, or how much I drank, and I didn’t have to work out. She was an alcoholic mess. She didn’t have any money to dye her hair. I mean I didn’t become an alcoholic, but I didn’t have to watch myself. It was so much more exciting to play that character that didn’t worry about her appearance in any way. I knew that when I stood up in that bath naked it wasn’t about whether I looked good naked or not. It was about who she was.”
