Scarlett Johansson made waves when she requested to go topless in her $162M film directed by Michael Bay. Known for his high-octane action flicks, Bay took a firm stance and refused the request, sparking chatter in Hollywood about creative control and the lengths stars go to for their roles.
This unexpected moment showcased the tension between artistic vision and studio demands, reminding us that even in the glitz and glamor of Tinseltown, bold decisions often come with their own set of challenges.
Scarlett Johansson’s Realism Clash: The ‘Cheap Bra’ Showdown onThe Island
Scarlett Johanssondidn’t hold back when it came to her wardrobe onThe Island. The 2005 sci-fi thriller, directed byMichael Bay, saw Johansson team up withEwan McGregorin a dystopian tale about human clones used for organ harvesting. But it wasn’t just the plot that had Johansson questioning reality—it was the costume department, too.
During a s*x scene inThe Island, Johansson was handed a black bra to keep things PG-13. But she wasn’t buying it. TheLost in Translationstarthought it was absurd for her characterto wake up in bed wearing a bra. She told Bay, who later recalled the encounter:
She’s standing there, and she says, ‘I’m not wearing this cheap… bra. I’m going naked.’ I said, ‘It’s PG-13, you have to wear the bra’.
Bay stood his ground, insisting she had to wear the bra. Despite Johansson’s push for realism, the director knew the movie needed to stay within the rating’s boundaries to avoid trouble with its release.
Johansson’s frustration wasn’t just about the film’s rating; it was about authenticity. “Women don’t normally sleep in a bra,”she noted, pointing out the unrealistic wardrobe choice. Yet, the film industry’s strict regulations left little room for her protest.

In the end,The Islandkept its PG-13 status, and the scene stayed covered. Johansson’s stance on that “cheap bra” became a memorable moment behind the scenes. It also highlighted the tug-of-war between artistic vision and the rules that govern Hollywood productions. Sometimes, even an actor as bold as Johansson has to play by the industry’s rules.
