I have been a fan of actor Michael Shannon for awhile. Both incredibly talented and incredibly sexy, Shannon has been turning in strong performance on film for close to three decades. I loved Michael in The Shape of Water and last year, to notes of nudity news grabbed my attention...
First off, like many of you, I saw the new promotional still for Michael's stage role in Bug. It was also Michael, who was on stage with Audra McDonald, when a audience member took a picture during their nude scene in Broadway's Frankie and Johnny. Audra was especially bothered, and rightly called out the photo taker.
Obviously doing a nude scene means you'll be seen by the public, but there's a difference between the intimacy with a theater audience, and having your image splashed all over the net, especially when the show went to such great lengths to make the actors comfortable by bringing in the an expert in staging sex scenes. This was reported to be the first time this was done for a Broadway production.
Back to that promotional shot from Bug. Michael starred in both the stage, and film versions and you can check out more on PAGE 2 HERE:

Oh yeah, I've watched him in something. That shot of him when he was young reminds me of that openly gay actor Luke Evans.
