Lindsay Lohan asks film crew to take their pants off
Actress Lindsay Lohan attends a probation progress report hearing at Superior Court in Los Angeles, California, March 29, 2012. Lohan is set to play iconic actress Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime movie about her fiery romance with actor Richard Burton.
Before filming a scene in "The Canyons" that required Lindsay Lohan to go topless, the actress put in a strange, but not entirely unfair request. If she was going to work semi-nude, than would the male crew members meet her half way and please take off their pants, The Sun reported.
"The crew was hesitant at first — but according to sources, they eventually obliged, stripping down and shooting the entire scene in their skivvies," TMZ reported.
Last year Lohan posed nude for Playboy.
Her co-star, James Deen, a professional porn-star, was probably comfortable filming the scene.
Bret Easton Ellis, best known for his novel "American Psycho," wrote the screenplay. He said the story is about "five twenty-somethings' quest for power, love, sex and success in 2012 Hollywood," according to The Sun.
