Jesse Williams Talks Full Frontal Nudity on Broadway

Jesse Williams Talks Full Frontal Nudity on Broadway

The New York Times

Jesse Williams is baring it all... and the internet is loving it.


On May 9, the "Grey's Anatomy" alum went viral after pictures and videos from his Broadway play, "Take Me Out," were leaked. Williams was completely nude in one scene, and it's safe to say, the leaked footage quickly garnered attention.

On the May 9 episode of "Watch What happens Live! After Show," Williams shared his naked thoughts on the viral moment.

"It's a body, once you see it, you realize it's whatever, it's a body!" Williams said. "I just have to make it not that big of a deal."

Host Andy Cohen also attempted to make light of it, asking if it helps for an actor to "feel good" about their "body" when making the decision to be nude onstage. Williams jokingly responded,

"I would imagine so. I don't, so I don't know."

Clearly, fans weren't the only ones impressed with William's performance. The same day that the footage was leaked, Williams became a Tony nominee for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role.
