After decades of the male gaze dominating television and film by capturing the nudity of women, we’re finally starting to see a cultural shift where men’s bodies are also explored and shown on the screen. In fact, we’re getting more full-frontal scenes from male actors than ever in recent TV shows and movies.
But besides full frontal scenes, actors have also been showing their bare asses quite often in recent times. These scenes often happen while characters are taking a shower, walking around their homes, having sex, or even for no good reason at all. And hey, no complaints whatsoever!
Scroll through to check out actors who have shown ass on TV and in film.
Charles Melton – ‘May December’
Netflix
Even though Joe (Charles Melton) is in a long-standing and scandalous relationship with Gracie (Julianne Moore), he ends up having sex with Elizabeth (Natalie Portman) while the actress is in close proximity to them. During that scene between Joe and Elizabeth, Melton’s penis and ass are fully exposed to viewers.
