Chris Pine slams reaction to his nude scene as “double standards”

It’s gotten a lot of attention.

Chris Pine has said he doesn’t know why his nude scene in Outlaw King attracted so much attention, but he called the reaction to it “double standards”.

While plenty of critics are taking about the new movie, most of the chatter around it is Pine and the fact that he reveals all… and we mean all.

As Vulture described it, “Our hero strips off his tunic and — surprise! — exposes his royal todger to the world. We only see it in a long shot, and the moment ends before anyone watching can finish saying ‘Whoa’…”

Pine appeared on The Graham Norton Show on Friday night where he discussed the reaction to it, which has caught him by surprise.

He told the show: “I bare the ‘full monty’ and it got a lot of attention… What did strike me most is that [co-star] Florence Pugh bares everything too and no-one commented.

“I am not sure what that means. Either people think they can’t comment or everyone expects women to get naked. Either way, it’s double standards.”
