Blake Lively explained her decision to steer clear of n*dity in films, saying, “I can’t help it.”

Do you know why Blake Lively is not a fan of onscreen n*dity? Read on to know what the actress once revealed!

Blake Lively has always had a knack for standing out in Hollywood, and it’s not just her fashion or charm. The Gossip Girl star famously drew a line in the sand regarding on-screen n*dity and her reasoning? It’s different.

“When I see nudity in movies, I am always distracted by it,” she explained in an interview years ago. “If someone has their b*obs out, then that’s all I’m looking at. I can’t help it.” For Lively, baring it all wasn’t about being shy but staying true to what felt “right” for her.

The It Ends With Us actress’ decision sparked some debate—critics wondered if she’d change her tune if the right script (or paycheck) came along. After all, in a world where on-screen nudity often aims to “move the plot,” her stance was a curveball.

Lively’s principles weren’t limited to nudity. Around the same time, she shared her own story of facing harassment in Hollywood—shining a light on a different, more insidious battle. During a project, she endured months of inappropriate behavior from a makeup artist.

“He was saying things inappropriately, insisting on putting my lipstick on with his finger,” Blake Lively recalled. The situation escalated when she woke up one night to find him filming her while she slept. “It was a very voyeuristic, terrifying thing to do,” she said.

Her attempts to report the behavior to the producers were brushed aside. Instead of addressing the harassment, they confronted her about her dog’s bathroom mishap on set. Yes, you read that right. Frustrated, Lively turned to her lawyer, sparking an investigation. The makeup artist was eventually removed, but the fallout was bittersweet. The unit production manager even wrote him a recommendation letter, brushing aside the gravity of his actions.

This incident and her no-n*dity stance showed that Lively wasn’t afraid to challenge Hollywood norms. As the industry grappled with the Harvey Weinstein scandal and a wave of #MeToo revelations, her story added another voice to the growing call for change. For Lively, her choices—whether about staying clothed on camera or calling out abuse—have always been about staying authentic. While some saw her avoidance of nudity as unconventional, it was a part of her greater belief in owning her narrative.

In a town where the “casting couch” may have evolved but never disappeared, Blake Lively’s decisions became a reminder: strength in Hollywood isn’t just about roles or red carpets. It’s about drawing boundaries, breaking silences, and standing tall—even when the industry tries to look the other way.
