Again, that's really none of our business.

If the actor doesn't want to do the scene, they can choose not to do the scene. There might be positive or negative consequences to be dealt with but those are their consequences to deal with, not ours. Besides, if the scene is to be shot with nudity, I'm sure someone willing to do it could be found.

I don’t think I’m making a “huge” deal. I’m just asking questions and stating my opinion. I’m not saying that nudity should not be in film. I’m just saying it should be done right.
I also think you're confusing the issue. Nudity being "done right" isn't the choice of the talent. That's up to the director to do, ultimately. The director is the one directing the scene and is the one who decides what is appropriate for the scene and what isn't. Keira didn't decide how much of her chest would work best, the director did. There might have been some negotiation if she wasn't comfortable but if that wasn't the case, the director is the one making the decisions you're questioning. However, you're implying the actor is the one involved in this decision and that's not necessarily the case.

Peace...
