Nudity on screen is always a controversial topic. Sometimes an intimate or revealing moment is valuable to the story being told, but, understandably, not all actresses are comfortable being naked on screen, simply refusing to do so. Sydney Sweeny has done her share of nude scenes and doesn’t seem to have a problem with them in general, but only when she thinks they make sense for the character.
In Sweeney’s new movie "Immaculate" she plays a nun who travels to a convent in Italy where things are not as they appear. The movie’s MPAA rating is R, in part because the film does contain nudity, but not from Sweeney herself. Her character is truly devout, an innocent for whom the events of the film are meant to be disturbing. A brief look at the "Immaculate" trailer makes that clear, and so the actress tells the L.A. Times that it simply didn’t make sense for her character to be naked at any point.
