Apparently most male film stars don't wear underpants. Have they never heard of #MeToo? Or accidents?

"It's astonishing the number of male actors who don't wear underwear, she said. I've had to go out and buy them pants not Calvin Klein or anything like that; I usually get them from Marks otherwise they try to hide themselves behind a chair looking marginally awkward. I think, For God's sake, if I was going to a fitting and trying on second-hand clothes I'd wear some pants'."

"Being fitted for costumes is an integral part of an actor's job. Indeed, it is only during this process that many of them begin to understand the role that they have agreed to play. So with that in mind if you knew that a vital aspect of your professional life will involve taking off your trousers in front of a respected head of department wouldn't you try to remember to put on some underpants before you left the house? Especially in this day and age."

Jenny Beavan is a three-time Oscar-winning costume designer known for work on Merchant Ivory and Mad Max: Fury Road. She reported that many male actors do not wear underwear during costume fittings and that she has had to buy them pants, usually inexpensive Marks clothing. Costume fittings are described as integral to actors' preparation and often the moment they begin to understand roles. Beavan emphasized the awkwardness actors create when they attempt to hide instead of wearing underpants. The #MeToo movement has increased awareness of industry abuses, and failing to wear underpants places costume designers in potentially embarrassing positions.
