New York, Apr 2 (ANI): The stars of NBC’s upcoming series, ‘The Playboy Club’, may have to bare all in the show as per the contacts they have signed.
According to Variety magazine, the stipulation is unheard-of for a network show, but it’s believed that the clause is intended for the show’s release on DVD and in domestic and foreign cable syndication.
“Nudity as defined above and/or simulated sex acts may be required in connection with player’s services in the pilot and/or series,” the New York Post quoted the clause, signed by actors, as reading.
The actors, Amber Heard, Eddie Cibrian, Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Leah Renee, however, can’t be forced to shoot nude scenes.
If it came to pass that nudity was included, the particular scene in the script must be given to the actor(s), allowing them the opportunity to consent or decline, according to the report.
Insiders told Variety that no nudity was included in the pilot episode, and that there are no plans to include nudity if the pilot is picked up for a (likely) series run by NBC.
‘The Playboy Club’ is based on the ‘Swinging 60s’ era nightclubs spun off from Hugh Hefner’s Chicago-based Playboy magazine. (ANI)
