Shameless people were concerned initially that I wouldnāt do the nudity and when I said I would, it became a deeper conversation about this woman.
I never felt that I wouldnāt do nudity in my career, I just didnāt think Iād do it at this age, after two kids. The truth is, is that I donāt have any problems with the human body and things with relationships and sex is a part of life, so I was really open to that. No matter what hang-ups you might have about your body or you how you look, all that is really thrown out the window once you dive into the scene, and in order to make it organic you have to let everything else go.
You just do.
