Van Houten makes it clear that she maintains that art shouldn't shy away from nudity or explicit scenes of a sexual nature. However, the Me Too movement has refined her viewpoint, and she now insists that any nudity must have a narrative function, which the nude scenes in "Game of Thrones" may not have had. She is done with nudity for herself, however: "I've done that enough now. No more."

I remember her from 2006 movie BLACK BOOK...
It was a World War 2 movie...It was about Dutch Resistance during the war...Her character, a Jewish woman, fell in love with the German officer...The movie starts with a scene in Israel...She meets her old friend who came to Israel with her Canadian husband...The old friend married the Canadian soldier who was part of the Canadian army which occupied Netherlands after the German surrender...
She was nude very frequently in that movie...
I think some of you watched GAME OF THRONES on HBO?

LOL! Made her question. Didn't make her stop.
I can see the thought bubble now. "Golly. Should I take my top off or should I continue collecting a paycheck? I'll ask myself again later."

At 43, that’s probably wise.

Speak for yourself. Perhaps my standards are slipping in my old age but I consider her to be very much not guilty.

Carice Van Houten didn't have any qualms about getting naked in Black Book either. The only flick I've seen her in when she didn't get naked was Valkyrie. Don't know why she is having second thoughts now.

she’s like Eva Green from James Bond etc. She’s nude or in sex scenes right afterwards and the ending where she, the red witch, dies walking into the snow, was “needed”. If she had any clout on set, she would have said “why cant you just CGI me melting?”

In all seriousness, she does have a point. All those great movies from the 1940s and 50s, none of them required their female leads to strip down. It really is exploitive. It would be like a store owner requiring his check-out clerks to work topless. It just isnt necessary.
On the other hand, its a free country. You dont like the script, you dont take the role. So while I kinda agree with Van Houten, I wont be protesting anywhere about it.

“At 43, thats probably wise.”
I’ve met, seen 43-45 year old’s who would shame any 25 year old in my lifetime. There are just genetically beautiful women who age after 30, which in most cases are the reverse. Plus I’m in Hollywood and know who are natural beauties.
Even back in college, I dated this redhead, went to meet her folks and the 41 year old mom was effing’ hotter than the daughter. I wanted to ‘switch” being the young buck I was lol

Well, remember back in the forties and fifties the movie industry was governed by the Hays code , so nudity was prohibited anyway. So was profanity.

Yes dear you were manipulated/paid to be a Great Actress and do Art as though these guys are at all interested in THAT.
THEY ARENT. its just a more sophisticated way than feeling you up in a crowded bus.
Sure you are an adult but adults fall for lots of cons.
Youre famous now and made a lot of money. You were also sexually exploited.
