As a fan, I admire Elizabeth Olsen for her courage and open-mindedness when it comes to nude scenes in movies and TV shows. Her experiences, from off-Broadway productions to big-screen roles, have shaped her perspective on the use of such scenes in storytelling. She’s not afraid to take risks, as proven by her intimate scenes with Jesse Plemons in “Love & Death.
Elizabeth Olsen, similar to many stars, appeared nude in films during her initial career stages, such as in “Martha Marcy May Marlene” (2011) and Spike Lee’s adaptation of “Oldboy” (2013). However, she has since solidified her career with roles like Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jane Banner in Taylor Sheridan’s 2017 mystery drama “Wind River,” and Christina in the 2023 film “His Three Daughters.” Despite this, it might seem that she would no longer consider nude scenes. However, she has stated openly that she remains open to such scenes, partly due to her admiration for Kate Winslet’s performance in the 1999 movie “Holy Smoke.
In a 2015 interview with The Edit (via E! Online), she expressed that watching ‘Holy Smoke’ and seeing young Kate doing something daring made her feel encouraged. She thought, ‘It seems my career won’t be harmed if I appear nude or take risks.’ However, while Mary-Kate Olsen is open to being naked on screen, she emphasized that she’s not an actress who enjoys filming nude scenes. Instead, she would resist scenes that are unnecessary in this regard. She also stated in the same interview, “You won’t ever see me posing seductively in a bikini on a beach. That’s a role I will never embody.
Olsen had to make a decision about nude scenes early in her career
In an interview with The Edit, Elizabeth Olsen shared her thoughts on explicit scenes she finds suitable for filming, but also mentioned that her family’s response to nude scenes has varied. She commented, “Not all of my relatives and close friends agreed it was a good idea to appear nude in a movie.” There are actresses, both young and experienced, who have chosen not to bare all on screen, and they serve as examples in such discussions.
Despite the pushback from loved ones, Olsen has continued to maintain her open mindset about working sans clothing as her career has progressed, as proved by her intimate scenes with Jesse Plemons in the 2023 Max original miniseries “Love & Death.” In an interview she gave that year to Vanity Fair, the actor attributed her comparative comfort with such scenes to experience, noting that her history with nude scenes started well before her first big-screen starring role in “Martha Marcy May Marlene.”
She’s been involved with it since the very beginning of her acting career, which includes her time in off-Broadway plays. Even when she was understudying and had to step in, she was prepared to perform without any clothes onstage. If it serves the narrative—it’s not about her personal comfort, but about accurately portraying the story. In this storytelling process, her body is just a tool.
