For many Hollywood actresses, showcasing bold scenes, even daring to go without clothing, is not something extraordinary. They are ready to “strip away the layers” to bring high-quality performances to audiences. Today, let’s take a look at some of the most renowned and beautiful actresses who have recently made headlines for their daring movie roles.
Jennifer Lawrence
The first name on the list is Jennifer Lawrence. The 33-year-old actress stunned audiences with bold scenes in the film “Red Sparrow”. In this project, she plays the lead role of Dominika Egorova, a former ballerina forced to become a spy after a career-ending injury while caring for her sick mother. To ensure proper medical care, Dominika Egorova engages in a covert relationship with her supervisor, Ivan Egorov, deputy director of the SVR intelligence agency.
Last year, Jennifer Lawrence once again made headlines with her stunning figure in bold scenes from the romantic comedy “No Hard Feelings”. In this project, Jennifer collaborates with male co-star Andrew Barth Feldman. In the film, she plays Maddie Barker, a 32-year-old woman who must navigate a challenging situation to help a shy 19-year-old boy from a wealthy family learn to “come out of his shell”.
Emma Stone
At the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, “Poor Things” is the trending title captivating the audience. This film has attracted immense attention from movie lovers, not only for its outstanding content but also for the incredibly bold scenes featuring the lead actress, Emma Stone.
Emma Stone plays the character Bella, a girl living in the 19th century. After committing suicide, Bella is resurrected by a scientist. However, her current state of mind is merely a blank slate. She later encounters Duncan Wedderburn, a lawyer with a rather colorful lifestyle.
“Poor Things” has won numerous prestigious awards, including the Golden Lion at the 80th Venice Film Festival. At the Academy Awards (Oscars), Emma Stone was honored with the title of Best Actress. At the Golden Globe Awards, the actress was also nominated as Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.
Besides “Poor Things”, Emma Stone has also made headlines with bold scenes in the film “Cruella”, a project depicting the fierce battles of the British royal family in the 18th century.
Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson has had many bold moments across numerous films. However, the scene that stands out the most is from the film “Under the Skin”. In this project, Scarlett Johansson’s character fully unveils her sensuality.
Undoubtedly, “Under the Skin” is not merely a film that showcases nudity but rather a work of art that explores the value of existence, presented in a particularly surreal style by director Jonathan Glazer. For those who are unaware, this film took nearly 10 years to complete and is ready for public release.
Elizabeth Olsen
The star of the blockbuster “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” – Elizabeth Olsen is also among the actresses making waves in Hollywood. In the film “Martha Marcy May Marlene”, released in 2011, she portrayed Martha, a 22-year-old girl who spends two years living in a cult in the Catskill Mountains. There, she endured psychological trauma and had to grapple with the haunting memories of her past. Later, Martha escapes to seek help from her sister. She must struggle to cope with the painful scars of her former life.
In the film “Oldboy”, released in 2013, Elizabeth Olsen also had bold scenes that left viewers speechless alongside actor Josh Brolin. Unfortunately, Elizabeth Olsen’s artistic sacrifices did not translate into box office success as “Oldboy” only grossed 5.2 million USD, marking it as one of the lowest-grossing films in history.
Anya Taylor-Joy
Finally, the last name on the list is Anya Taylor-Joy, a rising star in Hollywood. Anya Taylor-Joy previously captivated millions of viewers with her stunning figure in bold scenes from the 2022 film “The Northman”.
“The Northman” takes inspiration from Norse mythology, following the journey of Amleth, a prince who witnesses his father’s murder at the hands of his uncle. Surviving, he seeks revenge, but the path leads to tragic consequences for his family. In the film, Anya Taylor-Joy plays Olga, a Slavic sorceress who aids Amleth in his quest.
Before “The Northman”, Anya Taylor-Joy also made headlines for her bold appearance in “The Witch”, which was her breakout feature film.
For those who are unaware, Anya Taylor-Joy is currently drawing attention with her lead role in “Furiosa: A Mad Max Story”. The character Furiosa, played by her, is a warrior who is forced to fight for survival in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. After many trials and tribulations, she transforms into a formidable fighter, seeking ways to return home.
As of June 2, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Story” has grossed 114 million USD worldwide. However, the film is still far from breaking even, as production costs soared to 168 million USD.
The film “Furiosa: A Mad Max Story” featuring Anya Taylor-Joy is currently showing in theaters nationwide.
