Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has become one of the director’s most successful films. People are already talking about Oscar possibilities for Robert Downey Jr. and others. However, outside of the great performances, there is another element that is getting its fair share of press, Florence Pugh’s nudity. The actress appears naked in a couple of scenes in the film, a fact that has run afoul of censors, as well as one couple on TikTok that has now gone viral.
A video, now taken down, from the That’sNotLove TikTok account has gone viral on Twitter after it was reposted there. In the clip, a woman explains how she and her husband handled the nudity in Oppenheimer, which apparently required the woman’s husband to shield his eyes from the images.

Needless to say, the internet is now having something of a field day at the woman’s expense. Nudity in R-rated films isn’t exactly unusual or considered to be that extreme, which has led most commenting on the repost to wonder just what the big deal is about looking at some boobs…
Guy who sees a movie about the creation of the most destructive weapon created in the history of mankind that psychologically destroyed every generation that followed but needs to look away from the screen when there are breasteses.
To be fair this woman isn’t the only one who had a problem with Florence Pugh’s breasts. Oppenheimer was digitally altered in some nations to put clothes on the actresses so that she wasn’t seen naked. Nudity is a significant taboo in a lot of places, including here for many people, but a lot of people don’t really understand why it’s that big a deal…
bruh why are people so afraid of naked bodies like….we all have naked bodies
The TikTok page where the video was first posted seems to be largely focused on the evils of porn, which at least lends some understanding to where the woman is coming from, though certainly there’s a significant gap between what happens in Oppenheimer and actual pornography. But I guess the scenes of Florence Pugh naked are close enough. At the end of the day if nudity is the problem, then Oppenheimer is a problem…
I am become breasts, destroyer of worlds
It’s mostly interesting because while there is nudity, and there are even simulated sex scenes, none of it is designed to be particularly titillating. It might be one thing if the scenes were extreme, but this is still very much a Christopher Nolan movie, and I think there’s a reason we’ve never seen those sorts of scenes in his films before. But maybe for some people, a naked Florence Pugh can stir up feelings they’d rather avoid…
Is she using “triggered” in place of “horny”?
While the original post has been taken down, likely because it was being inundated with comments of its own, the woman who posted the original video has created a sort of response, showing that if nothing else she has a sense of humor about the whole thing.

At this point, it doesn’t appear that Florence Pugh’s naked body is set to cause the downfall of civilization, but it’s still early. Oppenheimer is still in theaters now for those brave enough to see it.
