Tinseltown can be a pretty competitive place, so it’s always heartwarming to hear when famous actresses turn out to be best buds. But some Hollywood friendships have more in common than just acting - it seems a lot of BFFs can commiserate about undressing on screen. We noted six friendly pairs that share a penchant for going bare. Forget “bros before hoes” - for them, it’s more like “nudes before dudes!”
Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence
One of the most recent examples of acting rivals-turned-besties, Emma and JLaw were first pitted against each other when Emma won the lead role in Easy A over Jennifer in 2010. Luckily, there’s been room in Hollywood for both of them to have successful careers. In fact, their trajectories have been so aligned, that 2023 turned out to be a year of full frontal for both ladies. It was the year that generously gifted us Emma Stone nude in Poor Things and Jennifer Lawrence nude in No Hard Feelings. We’re glad there are no hard feelings between them, but there are plenty between our legs!

Chelsea Handler and Jennifer Aniston
Despite rumors that they had a falling out in 2019, Chelsea and Jennifer’s friendship is supposedly still going strong. Perhaps it was Chelsea, known for going topless on her Netflix reality series Chelsea, who talked The Morning Show star into showing a little Jennifer Aniston nude during her sex scenes with Jon Hamm?

Sienna Miller and Kiera Knightley
The beautiful Brits apparently became best friends on the set of their 2008 film The Edge of Love, a film which saw both babes going nude in different scenes. It wasn’t the first nudity from either, nor thankfully has it been the last!

Lisa Bonet and Marisa Tomei
They’ve been bound together ever since meeting back on the sitcom A Different World, but neither has been bound by their clothes, with Lisa Bonet bringing out her boobs and butt in 1987’s Angel Heart and Marisa and her mams working the pole in 2008’s The Wrestler. Bonet + Tomei = hornay!

Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek
If there was ever a friendship we wished would blossom into something more after a late-night pillow fight, this is it. They’d be the ultimate power couple of our fantasies, though neither of their pillows came popping out of those corsets when they acted together in 2006’s Bandidas. But we have gotten plenty of Penélope Cruz nude since her naked debut in Jamon Jamon and the same can be said for seeing Salma Hayek nude since Desperado.

Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts
They're the gold standard for Hollywood friendships, having met when they were just two young gals vying for the same swimsuit commercial. Decades later, Nicole reportedly checked in with her pal before agreeing to work with Naomi’s ex Liev Schreiber in The Perfect Couple, but there’s a whole herstory in between of the besties delivering four-star nudity. There are only 13 Naomi Watts nude roles to the 20 Nicole Kidman nude roles in existence, but there’s plenty of time to catch up!
