Saltburn actor Barry Keoghan answers everyone's number one question about filming nude scene
It seems to be getting more and more common to see nude scenes in movies and TV series these days.
Netflix series A Man In Full sparked major backlash online because it showed an actor's fully erect penis but it's clear that's not the first time we've seen a willy on the telly as of late.
Yep, if you look back just to just a few months ago, Amazon Prime viewers were left in absolute shock after seeing none other than Barry Keoghan totally in the buff in the final scene of Saltburn.

Fans of the hit thriller have not been able to shut up about the iconic end scene where the The Banshees of Inisherin star prances about the eccentric Catton family's sprawling estate to none other than Sophie Ellis-Bextor's 'Murder on the Dance Floor' in the nude.
And, since then, the 31-year-old Irish actor has answered everyone's number one question about the scene which sees him strip off right down to his birthday suit.
While fans have taken no time to praise the 'twisted' and 'disgustingly amazing' movie - complete with a star-studded cast - it's clear many were eager for some answers about the nude scene.
In case you've yet to see it, and without giving too much away, Saltburn is set in England in 2006.
The black-comedy-come-psychological-drama, which was written, directed, and produced by Emerald Fennell, follows Oxford University student Oliver (Barry) who becomes obsessed with a wealthy fellow student within his college (Jacob Elordi), who later invites him to spend the summer at his totally bonkers family's mansion.
Now, after a whole load of insane plot twists, crazy turns and one particularly memorable bathtub scene - Barry has finally come clean about whether that naked bloke dancing around before the credits roll was all him or not.
Opening up about the scene, the actor told Entertainment Weekly last year: "It totally felt right. It’s ownership. This is my place.
"It’s full confidence in, 'I can do what I want in this manor. I can strip to my barest and waltz around because this is mine'. Yeah... it was fun."
With that being said, however, Barry admitted he was slightly hesitant to bare all for the first take.
"The initial thing was about me having no clothes on. I'm a bit, ehhh," he said. "But after take one, I was ready to go. I was like, 'Let's go again. Let's go again'.
"You kind of forget, because there's such a comfortable environment created, and it gives you that license to go, 'All right, this is about the story now'."
"I didn’t know I could dance like that, by the way," Barry added. "I was like, 'Wow. Where did them things come from?'"
That's good to know considering director Emerald Fennell revealed that they'd shot the sequence 11 times in total.
But I suppose practice makes perfect.
Saltburn is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime.
