Marisa Tomei goes topless
Academy Award winning actress Marisa Tomei bares all (and clips on some nipple rings) as a stripper in her new movie ‘The Wrestler’. Check out some photos here. The 44 year old, who was hesitant to sign on to this project, said she talked to exotic dancers to prepare for the role:
I talked to a bunch of different girls and a bunch of different dancers. It wasn’t like I sat and had big interviews with them or anything; we just went out, had some drinks, went to a bunch of clubs, watched a lot of dances, got some dances, brought some guy friends with me, brought some girl friends with me… It’s like anything, any subculture. You get in there, and it’s all individuals.
She also said she had a lot of influence on the costume decisions for her character, including those nipple rings. She said they weren’t in the script and they were her idea. They were clip-ons that were put on and “pinched in” with eyelash glue, and she said they hurt a little bit.
Despite her original hesitation about the role, taking the part seems to have paid off. ‘The Wrestler’ is up for numerous Golden Globes, including a best supporting actress nod for Marisa.
