In the first episode of the second season of And Just Like That …, Cynthia Nixon gets naked. Like, really naked. The full-frontal shots (yes, plural) come during some – spoiler alert – steamy sex scenes with her new love Che, and during a visit to a floatation tank. You know, as you do.
“The show is about sex, and sometimes people have sex with their clothes on, but most often they are naked when they have sex,” Nixon told InStyle. “So, I always try and make a decision about would she [Miranda], realistically speaking, be naked here. In which case – OK, it’s not my favourite thing, I don’t feel wildly comfortable about it – but OK, I’m game. Let’s do it. If she’s in a flotation tank, chances are she’s naked, right?”
I remember the first time I watched a film and saw a woman over 50 completely naked. It was fairly recently, actually. Last year in fact. It was Emma Thompson in the 2022 film, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. At the very end of the film, in which the 64-year-old hires a male prostitute, Emma is seen standing in front of a mirror completely nude.
Full frontal nudity is not an anomaly for actors. Margot Robbie bared it all in The Wolf of Wall Street, Emilia Clarke famously had several nude scenes in Game of Thrones, and both Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar Jones got their kits off for Normal People.
Yet, it’s not often we see a woman of a certain age completely in the buff – and seeing both Emma and now Cynthia do so is seriously refreshing.
