Brittany Snow got candid about her time filming John Tucker Must Die.
Snow, 39, opened up about making the 2006 teen comedy while chatting with Bustle in a new interview published Friday, November 14.
“I remember there being a lot of wardrobe fittings about my underwear scene, and they were very stressed about how I was going to look in that underwear,” she said of the famous scene, in which she wore a red lace balconette bra and low-waisted boy shorts.
“I felt a lot of pressure. I had just gone through my own mental health stuff right before, and so I was not in a very good place to be scrutinized in that way,” Snow added.
She shared there was “a lot of talk” about her body — as well as those of her costars Sophia Bush, Arielle Kebbel and Ashanti — and their “hair” and “looking really pretty.”
“I was put on a diet, I had to go to the gym with this workout trainer every morning before work,” Snow continued. “But I remember feeling very safe with Betty Thomas, who was our director. It’s just very indicative of the time, that [the kiss] was sort of supposed to be funny and weird and shocking, and that’s unfortunate because it means so much else to so many other people.”
Snow then compared her lingerie scene to her nude moment with Malin Åkerman in The Hunting Wives, sharing that she felt “vulnerable” but held up by her coworkers.
“I’m just so proud of myself because I’m not only being held up, I’m completely, completely naked,” she gushed.
Snow added, “But everything was so different on Hunting Wives because we were doing it from an all-women perspective in terms of the showrunner, the creator, the camera operator, the intimacy coordinator. It sort of hurt my feelings when people were saying that we did Hunting Wives with a male gaze because I wanted to say there weren’t even any men on the set. All the directors that we had were women and that made us feel really safe and held.”
Snow previously opened up about filming sex scenes with Åkerman, 47, during an October episode of Amanda Hirsch’s “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast.
Brittany Snow’s hair “glow up” deserves a round of applause. Snow, 37, took to Instagram on Thursday, September 21, to show off her new ‘do. In the photo, she could be seen rocking dirty blonde hair with chunky platinum highlights cut slightly below her shoulders. Her tresses were parted down the side, swept over her […]
“As women, you are so mindful of each other. With guys, sometimes they don’t care [and] there’s no mint in their mouth,” Snow recalled.
She added, “With Malin and I, we were constantly like, ‘Are you OK? Can I put my hand here?’ It was just so nice and so different,” she noted. “We ate too many mints. I had an entire tub. It was people-pleasing too. And she was like, ‘Girl, I don’t care.’”
Snow also shared that Åkerman offered to put her body in front of Snow’s so that the actress wouldn’t have to show herself. “I was like, ‘This is so selfless and nice,’” Snow added.
