Jason Isaacs recently made headlines for comments regarding onscreen nudity while promoting 'The White Lotus'. After backlash, he expressed regret for using the term 'double standard', clarifying that women have historically faced exploitation. In interviews, he highlighted the disparity in conversations around male and female nudity, pointing out that discussions about female talent often neglect their bodies. Isaacs expressed discomfort with the obsession over his own nudity and reflected on how these inquiries highlight societal issues surrounding gender and portrayal in media, realizing he poorly managed his response to the questions.
"I said the wrong words in the wrong way... There is a [different] double standard - women have been monstrously exploited and men haven't."
"It's interesting because the best actress this year is Mikey Madison at the Oscars and I don't see anybody discussing her vulva, which was on [the screen] all the time."
"When women are naked, Margaret Qualley as well, in The Substance, nobody would dream of talking to her about her genitalia or her nipples or any of those things."
"I had been asked so many times in the same day by journalists, 'Are you wearing a prosthetic?' ... I thought I could have fun batting it off, but I batted it off very poorly."
