Carice Van Houten not so sure she’d strip off for film roles now she’s a mum

Game Of Thrones star Carice Van Houten regrets baring all in 2006 movie Black Book, revealing the #MeToo movement and motherhood have made her rethink onscreen nudity.
The Dutch actress admits she felt uncomfortable when director Paul Verhoeven asked her to strip for a scene in the film, and she’s not sure she would agree to do it now.
Carice, who played Melisandre on Game of Thrones, tells Deadline, “It wasn’t my favourite thing in the world at all… The Dutch are quite open minded, we’re a bit easier with that, but it’s never comfortable being the only one undressed on set.
“It was before I had a child. I would be more uncomfortable now. The times have changed in many ways. Back then, it was all a little overwhelming. No one forced me into anything, but in hindsight, I might have been a little more cautious with it.”
And she insists the #MeToo anti-harassment movement has paved the way for a more understanding Hollywood when it comes to nudity on camera: “It also showed that you don’t need it,” she explains.
