Scarlett Johansson’s nudity in Asteroid City left Wes Anderson ‘uncomfortable’: understand

With the debut of asteroid city in several countries around the world in June 2023 (in Brazil, it hits theaters only on August 10), the actors of the film began to talk about some details. During an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Scarlett Johansson (Midge Campbell) commented on her brief nude scene – and how it left the director, Wes Andersonuncomfortable.

In the conversation, the actress revealed how the filmmaker was quite quiet when it came time to film the intimate moment. “wes is probably the worst person to talk to about something like this. He is so uncomfortable with this subject,” he stated. The last time he Johansson did a nude scene was in under the skin (2013).

In addition, the artist explained how she was not uncomfortable during the filming of the asteroid cityand even had to give specific instructions to the director behind the camera: “I’ll leave it to your imagination [como foi]. There were many clearings and [Wes] sort of hid his face.”

At another point in the interview, Scarlett Johansson was asked if Midge Campbell was very inspired by the actress Judy Garland. “I’m a big fan of hers, but I don’t know if Midge has the same fragility,” he replied. “I thought of her as a kind of actress Bette Davis. She’s mid-career, she’s very much into herself…”

She’s self-aware in the way you want a movie star to be… she’s earned this spot, she’s confident about it, and that just seemed like a good-natured type of person. Bette Davis.
