Ahead of the release of
Rivals on Disney+ next week, Emily Atack has opened up about filming full-frontal nude scenes, in her first introduction on screen we see her playing tennis naked with main character Rupert Campbell-Black, she also explained that she wore a merkin for filming the tennis game and got to watch it back to make sure she was comfortable with it.
The scene is an iconic moment from the novel, but rather than being overwhelmed by the nude element of the scene, "It wasn't, 'I'm gonna have to run around a tennis court completely starkers.' I like a big entrance. I was like, 'Yeah, bring it on'," nudity and sex scenes were an integral part of the story, "[They] are a huge part of this, but there's always a reason for them. We're not just getting our kit off for no reason.
"I've always hated my boobs, because they’re big, but they're really low down and really saggy, but sometimes you do become so relaxed on set that you are just sometimes sitting there with your knockers out, and you go, “Oh, right, okay, God, I’ve forgotten to put my robe on.”
