Keke Palmer on Why She’s “Reluctant to Do Nudity” in Movie and TV Shows-June 2024

Keke Palmer may have an extensive acting resume ranging from her own Nickelodeon show to horror films and buddy comedies, but that doesnt mean she wants to do everything.

The Emmy winner recently opened up to The Independent about why shes always been reluctant to do nudity on screen in movies or television shows.

Just because Im so shy and, you know, embarrassed, Palmer admitted. And to know that people are going to be able to have [those scenes] forever? I could never have the confidence to do something like that! Im not that bold. Related Video However, many would probably disagree with the One of Them Days stars latter point about not being that bold, as she has gone viral numerous times for her comedic timing, iconic catchphrases and memeable moments. But for Palmer, she looks at herself in a bit of a different light.

On a deep level, I think Ive always been the kind of person thats felt very lonely or had these big emotions, she explained. And I always say that people who are considered comedians, or people that make people laugh, theyre not necessarily seen as serious. Usually, though, theyre the ones with the deepest feelings of all, and its that humor thats helping them get through.

Having worked in the industry since she was a child, the Nope actress has learned a thing or two over the years. She recalled her co-star William H. Macy in The Wool Cap once telling her, You dont need to think about the whole movie youve got to take it just one scene at a time.' Not only does she apply that advice to her work but also to her personal life.

Palmer added, When Im overwhelmed or worried about what Im going to do, I just focus on whats in front of me, do it to the best of my ability, and then move on from there.
