Scarlett Johansson Topless? No Really She Insists

Some Hollywood actresses are cautious about revealing too much skin but 20-year-old Scarlett Johansson had to be persuaded to keep her underwear on, according to her director in The Island, Michael Bay.

Speaking before Monday's New York premiere of the thriller, which stars Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor as human clones on the run, Bay said he was prepared for the usual actress nerves when it came to shooting a love scene between the two leads.

"We're ready to go and of course the actress is not there", he told reporters. He said he was summoned to her trailer before the Scarlett Johansson topless scene, expecting to have to reassure the star that her privacy and dignity would be protected. "She's standing there and she says, 'I'm not wearing this cheap... bra. I'm going naked,'" Bay said. "I said, 'It's PG-13, you have to wear the bra.'

Scarlett Johansson's take on it was a little different, she said it was only right she appeared nude in an early-morning shot. "I said, 'Women don't normally sleep in a bra. I can't wake up in this scene wearing a bra, it's ridiculous,'" she explained. "He said, 'What do you wanna wear?' I said, 'Well, nothing.'"

Too bad the PG-13 rating couldn't feature Scarlett Johansson nude. See Scarlett Johansson's topless Allure photoshoot for what she's packing under her top.
