Meet the Blockers
'This is gonna sound crazy, but I wanted to show male genitalia and not show female genitalia.'
Graham Phillips
Although I heard about the male nudity in Blockers, I wasn't really that interested in seeing the movie. The reviews weren't great so I went into it with minimal expectations. I think those low expectations actually caused me to enjoy the movie far more than I thought I would. Yes, the story was lame, yes for the most part, the dialogue was awful, but the actors managed to sell it for the most part, especially in a few key scenes.
Miles Robbins
Although I had a few eye rolls at different points, I also had a few chuckles at some of the silliness. I can't exactly recommend anyone rush to view it, but also bet you won't regret it if you do. One of the reasons many will enjoy it is director's Kay Cannon's decision to focus the nudity, on the men. Except for Gina Gershon, who again graces us with her beautiful breasts, the nudity is all from the male cast. The first flash of male flesh is a butt flash from an actor Cooper Hines, credited only as Moon Guy. I tried to find a shot of his face, but you'll have to settle for just his ass.
Cooper Hines
The rest of the film's nudity comes via John Cena, and the surprise full frontal from actor Gary Cole. I have no complaints, but I would have loved a little more skin from younger cat members Miles Robbins and Graham Phillips, both who had scenes where they are supposed to be losing their virginity. I was also surprised we didn't get a scene of adorable Ike Barinholtz out of pants, especially given he hasn't been shy at doing butt scenes in the past. (Seen on FH HERE: & HERE:)
John Cena
Since seeing John Cena's bountiful booty in Trainwreck, I have been hoping we all might get another gander. As great as Cena looks from the back, the alcohol enema scene gave us a great look from the side. The butt chug scene was pretty hilarious, especially the many looks on Cena's face. John says director Kay Cannon was conservative with him at first, making suggestions, but.. by the end of the film was like, 'Yeah, so you're gonna have to walk around naked But... as for showing the full frontal Cena, Cannon had a different view.
'Oh, I don’t think I could ever reveal John Cena’s situation given what he does for his day job. You gotta keep some mystery!'
Gary Cole
I have had a long standing crush on Gary Cole, starting when I was a kid watching Midnight Caller, through his recent appearances, looking as sexy as ever on The Good Fight. Some may remember Gary's previous nude scenes in 1998's Kiss the Sky along side actor William Peterson. (on FH HERE:) I certainly didn't expect the full frontal, and ball squeeze scene here in Blockers. Co-star Leslie Mann reports they made him a prosthetic, but that Cole didn't want to wear it, 'He wanted the real thing.'
'There is a full-frontal thing, and that was all Gary Cole’s [idea]. I didn’t think at all that’d end up in the movie. I shot it as an insert, but then I needed a big laugh and reaction to get out of that scene and I ended up using it.'
