Kim Gyu-ri Recalls 'Portrait of a Beauty' Nudity Scene: '20 Minutes of Intimacy, 5 Body Doubles Prepared'

Actress and artist Kim Gyu-ri is making headlines after revealing behind-the-scenes stories from her daring nude scenes in the 2008 film 'Portrait of a Beauty'.

Appearing as a guest on the YouTube channel 'No Backlash Tak Jae Hoon' on the 10th, Kim Gyu-ri's candid and fearless remarks left the host Tak Jae Hoon flustered.

The most talked-about topic was undoubtedly the filming of 'Portrait of a Beauty'. Kim Gyu-ri stated, "The intimacy scenes alone totaled 20 minutes," adding, "There were body doubles prepared for every part – chest, hips, even wrists and ankles." This revelation shocked many.

She further recounted, "When I was in the waiting room, the body doubles would come in, introduce themselves, suddenly undress, and show me the body part they were doubling for," painting a vivid and startling picture of the audition process at the time.

However, Kim Gyu-ri confessed, "I became greedy for the project and suggested, 'Let me try it first, and if it's not good, then use the doubles.'" She expressed immense satisfaction when the director ultimately decided to proceed without body doubles.

An amusing anecdote also surfaced. Kim Gyu-ri revealed that the director and assistant director personally demonstrated the bed scene during rehearsals. "The male assistant director would play my role, and the director would get on top of him to map out the movements. Seeing two men demonstrating details like 'Grab the hip here' was hilarious," she shared, making the studio erupt in laughter.

Beyond the film, Kim Gyu-ri also shared unconventional beauty tips. Despite being unable to drink alcohol, she stated, "I wash my face with leftover soju and use makgeolli as a toner," astonishing everyone. While she reasoned, "The alcohol evaporates and calms redness in the face," she humorously admitted, "If it gets in my mouth while washing, I get drunk and my face turns redder."

Regarding her ideal type, Kim Gyu-ri frankly stated, "Since I don't drive, I like men who own a car and treat me to good food." She added, "In the past, I was the clingy type, but now I want a man who is clingy towards me."

Netizens reacted enthusiastically to Kim Gyu-ri's candid remarks and surprising experiences. Comments included, "This is the first time I've seen Tak Jae Hoon flustered," "Her passion for acting is incredible," and "Soju face wash is novel, but I don't have the courage to try it."
