Ben Affleck Finally Confirms If He Wore A Prosthetic For ‘Gone Girl’ Frontal Shower Scene
The naked truth.
Ben Affleck has finally confirmed that he didn’t wear a prosthetic for his full-frontal shower scene in ‘Gone Girl.’
“I didn’t wear any prosthetics,” the actor revealed to Variety on Wednesday. “I only wore one in one movie, ‘Hollywoodland.’ It was a nose.
“Gone Girl” (2014) is a psychological thriller film directed by David Fincher and written by Gillian Flynn, based on his 2012 novel.
Affleck played Nick Dunne, a writing professor who becomes the prime suspect following the disappearance of his wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike), in Missouri.
Amid the on-screen drama, Affleck’s character stripped naked for a steamy shower scene.
The Oscar winner has previously spoken out about Fincher’s approach to filming the nude scene.
While accepting an award for “Gone Girl” at the 2014 Hollywood Film Awards, he joked that the director had initially assured him that the camera wouldn’t reveal much.
“David assured me – because trust is essential with directors and actors – ‘Look, if we bow down, we’ll never get far enough to see anything,'” Affleck said at the time.
He also joked about the conditions on set, saying, “I’d like to thank you for keeping the set cold,” before adding, “If you want a chance for America to see your trash, you want it cold.” »
His ex-wife Jennifer Garner, who he was still with at the time of the film’s release, also made fun of his nude scene in 2014.
“What I have to say is, ‘You’re welcome,'” Garner, now 54, joked on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
“I just try to think of myself as a charitable person and I wanted to give back. You give me so much, I wanted to give something back.”
Earlier this month, Affleck reflected on the critically acclaimed film more than a decade after its release, telling Letterboxd: “I was willing to do anything for (Fincher), like be naked.”
“Working with David has been the great privilege of my life,” exclaimed Affleck. “He’s one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.”
