In a candid moment at the Sundance Film Festival, John Lithgow revealed that he sent a naked photo of himself to director Sophie Hyde before filming 'Jimpa.' Lithgow, who plays a gay man in Amsterdam, has a history of nude performances, which he referenced during an hour-and-a-half discussion with Hyde about the role. He humorously noted that he has been nude on stage and screen five times, earning major awards each time. Despite initially feeling panicked, Lithgow expressed no regrets about his bold decision to share the photo.
I said, I have appeared nude on TV, on film, and onstage five times, and every time, I've won a major award.
I thought, well, you better know what you're dealing with here. So I showed her the picture on Zoom.
