Bella Thorne Opens Up About 'Uncomfortable' Scenes In Film
She opened up about how she's had to strengthen herself in those moments in the name of her career.
Bella Thorne told Page Six about the uncomfortable handling of risqué scenes she's encountered on film sets. She takes her acting seriously, but that message has gotten lost at times when directors get too caught up with nudity.
She opened up about how she's had to strengthen herself in those moments in the name of her career.
Being A Woman In This Industry
"I even find such a hard time with movie roles," Thorne said, "Most movie roles, if you're a female, you get n@ked at some point in the movie or you have some type of s-xual scene encounter."
Fans may assume that Thorne's ownership of her s-xuality and personal power translates to complete confidence in those moments. However, that's not always the case.
"I want to be stronger and when I'm on set doing these scenes, I'm very very uncomfortable. I'm always working through my uncomfortableness."
She wants to do all of her characters justice. She explained that if a scene involving nudity is necessary for her role's character development, she'll work through that discomfort in order to deliver a compelling performance.
From A Writer's Perspective
Thorne continued, "I'm a writer so I understand, in some situations. Some people just want to get girls n@ked on camera, you know. You've got to watch out for those movies."
The interviewer then asked her what makes her comfortable in those situations.
"I think when you write the material when it's not expected of you is a little bit of a different thing. That's a mental thing if someone's like, 'Ya you know you're supposed to take your shirt off now. You read the script right?'"
The delivery and wording is an essential factor in whether or not she feels safe and like directors are looking out for her best interest. She's read the script, of course, but the unwarranted focus on nudity changes the aura of a set.
"I've actually worked with female directors," she went on, "I've had an amazing time with some female directors and of course there have been some female directors that have made me uncomfortable."
Thorne revealed that it's not just men making young women anxious in film and television. How those scenes are handled from start to finish defines whether or not actors are being taken care of.
