Meryl's 'n-de' scene Leonardo did NOT want you to see!
Meryl's 'n-de' scene Leonardo did NOT want you to see! Don't Look Up viewers go WILD over Streep's controversial n-ked shot... after DiCaprio objected to actress, 72, appearing to bar- all
Don't Look Up viewers went wild at the sight of Meryl Streep, 72, in a 'n-de' scene following the release of the Netflix satire movie last week.
The esteemed actress plays the role of President Janie Orlean, and the character is seen n-de from behind in the final scene of the movie - yet many fans did not realise the septuagenarian was depicted by a body double.
Her widely-discussed 'n-de' scene hit headlines prior to the movie's release after director Adam McKay, 53, revealed her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, 47, took issue with the scene as he sees the actress as 'film royalty'.
Meryl is seen as a Trump-esque politician in the movie, which centres around scientists fruitlessly telling citizens the world is going to end due to a comet.
The final scene sees President Janie go without clothes, thus exposing a vast tattoo on her lower back, a tattoo placement often described in a derogatory sense as 'a tramp stamp'. Adam revealed the scene featured a body double.
Many viewers seemed to believe the scene was in fact showing Meryl's body.
Twitter users swarmed the microblogging site to pen: 'I didn’t need to see Meryl Streep n-ked tbh but the film is still fun...
'Meryl Streep was n-ked at the end of look up... Idk if that was real but I never thought I would see Meryl Streep that n-ked in my life...
'You get to see Meryl Streep n-ked... Never thought there would be a time that I would get to see Meryl Streep's tramp stamped n-ked a*s on film and live to tell about it. The movie was actually really awesome...
'Well I was not expecting to see meryl Streep but a*s n-ked when I turned on this film... Nahh them showing Meryl Streep at the end of this movie n-ked got me in tears lmaoo...
'Never in my life did I expect to see Meryl Streep's bar3 n-ked a*s #DontLookUp... They had Thee Meryl Streep butt n-ked with a tramp stamp and everything... Bloody hell it’s the only bit I caught… Meryl Streep n-ked…. Quite the shock at teatime.'
Last week, it was revealed that Leonardo didn't agree with the scene, as Adam told The Guardian that he expressed to his disappointment at Meryl's n-de scene.
Shedding light on the behind the scenes action, he said: 'You know who had a problem with it? Leo. Leo just views Meryl as film royalty … although maybe royalty is not a compliment … but as such a special figure in the history of film.'
He said he 'didn’t like seeing her with the back tattoo, walking for a second n-ked.
Adam went on: 'He said something to me like: "Do you really need to show that?" And I was like: "It’s President Orlean; it’s not Meryl Streep." But she didn’t even blink. She didn’t even bring it up. She is fearless.'
Leonardo told Access earlier this month that the star-studded cast, which also includes Jennifer Lawrence and Jonah Hill, was 'on their toes when Meryl walked in, as we should be' in reverence of her work.
He said: 'Look, you get to work with the greatest living actor in the world, everyone's on their toes, everyone's prepared, and we're just trying to keep up with her'.
Leonardo noted how he previously 'worked on a film' with Meryl, on the 1996 movie Marvin’s Room, in which she played the mother of his character.
In her vaunted film career, in which she's won three Oscars and scored 21 nominations, Meryl has been in n-de scenes in 1994’s The River Wild and 1995’s The Bridges of Madison County.
Don't Look Up's ensemble cast also includes Timothée Chalamet, Tyler Perry, Cate Blanchett and Ron Perlman. The movie is in theaters now and will begin streaming on Netflix December 24.
