Billy Evans says he wasn’t entirely on board with the plan to show everything in the hit documentary “You Can See Everything.”
Elizabeth Holmes’ partner is shown completely naked in the shower in Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s hyped film that shows the Theranos founder and her family in the days before her incarceration, but he told CBS Sunday Mornings’ Matt Gutman “I didn’t mean to.”
“Did you know you were doing the full Monty?” » asks Gutman.
“I did not give consent to do this,” says Evans. “Now, did I know they were filming me in the shower? Yes. But we were filming 16 hours a day, all sorts of things were filmed with insurance. I was just as surprised as the rest of the country to have my whole body on camera for the whole world to see.”
However, Evans’ recent remarks from the scene contradict how the filmmakers depict the process.
“We were in the car coming back from the gym and I said to Billy, ‘We’re going to give you some time to take a shower,'” co-director Oppenheim told GQ. “And Billy said, ‘You want to film me showering?’ I offered to film him in a way to avoid seeing his genitals, but Billy said he didn’t mind being seen naked.
“It’s been an awkward experience and having your kids’ teachers see it. It’s really uncomfortable. I’m not proud of it. I didn’t want it,” Evans told Gutman in the interview that aired Sunday.
Evans says he asked the filmmakers to pixelate at least the shower scene. “It’s weird to see the comment that ‘he’s just showing the world’. I’m a confident guy. I’m not so confident.
When Gutman asks if he contacted Fielder when he found out the scene would be included, Evans responds: “I communicated with them before the movie came out. Both through lawyers and on my own. I was like, ‘Can you pixelate this?’ Is there anything you can do? Because I had heard rumors from people who had seen the movie in early screenings. And they refused to do it.
Although Gutman tells Evans that he has a “very good figure,” Evans doubles down in the interview: “I’m asking and begging them not to show that. Apparently, that was something that Nathan and A24 really wanted to show to the world, but it’s not something that I did. And that’s embarrassing. I would also say that the color grading is like, very wrong.”
A24 made no comment.
