Hot Nude Films from Nepo Baby Directors

With her new supernatural horror film The Watchers out in theaters, Ishana Night Shyamalan becomes the latest to follow in her father’s footsteps straight into the director’s chair. She joins a growing list of nepo babies going into the family business, and it got us thinking about the celeb spawn that stepped into dad’s director shoes so they could film folks stepping out of their clothes!

It turns out there’s quite a trend of next-gen Hollywood directors bringing great nudity to the screen, so we’re hoping Ishana ends up doing the same! Here are all the other nepo baby directors whose nude work she can use as skin-spiration:

Infinity Pool from Brandon Cronenberg

Brandon proved he inherited his father David Cronenberg’s pension for trippy horror when he delivered this hedonistic mystery in early 2023. In a killer casting move, he has Mia Goth as one of a handful of nude ladies who bust out all three Bs in psychedelic scenes you have to see to B-lieve.

Men, Women, Children from Jason Reitman

Before he’d eventually take over the Ghostbusters franchise from dad Ivan Reitman, Jason had Tori Black putting the bust and the booty in this 2014 dramedy as a sexy cam girl.

Baadasssss! from Mario Van Peebles

Mario doesn’t just take after his father, iconic 70s director Melvin Van Peebles - he portrayed him in his 2003 biopic about the making of Sweet Sweetback’s Baadassss Song. And like the original, this dramatic tribute is full of phenomenal nudity!

The Notebook from Nick Cassavetes

The son of award-winning indie filmmaker John Cassavetes is the man behind one of the most revered romances of the early 2000s, where the world fell in love with Rachel McAdams and her ravishing rack.

Being Charlie from Rob Reiner

Rob’s been in the game for so long that it’s easy to forget he’s actually the son of legendary writer/director Carl Reiner. And while he’s most known for non nude comedies like When Harry Met Sally and This Is Spinal Tap, he also helmed this 2016 romantic drama with nudity from Aubrey Reynolds and Morgan Saylor.

Somewhere from Sofia Coppola

A few years after showing us a distant Kirsten Dunst nude in Marie Antoinette, Francis Ford Coppola’s daughter Sofia cast Stephen Dorff as a Hollywood actor seemingly surrounded by boobies in this 2010 drama. They’re not just somewhere, they’re everywhere!

Malcolm Marie from Sam Levinson

So Barry Levinson’s son Sam doesn’t have the biggest track record of movie nudity - though he did give us the best look at Zendaya’s breasts to date in this black-and-white drama from 2021. But he’s put the boob in boob tube several times thanks to his TV shows Euphoria and The Idol, the latter of which starred another nepo baby, Lily-Rose Depp, in one of the most naked performances of any series.
