I think the majority of men found serious disappointment when they learned that Jessica Alba’s nude shower scene in Machete was all computer magic. But, if that ruffled your feathers, new revelations about Alba and her role in the film may be even more disheartening. Apparently, Alba was to partake in some additional sex scenes for the film.
We of course never saw that, because it never happened. Jessica Alba recently spoke with Metro, and in the interview she discusses her character, and some of Robert Rodriguez’s expectations.
“I read the script for Machete but there was a lot of sex stuff for my character and I’m really conservative. I’d say to him [Rodriguez] ’you know the scenes where this is happening? I just feel really uncomfortable doing that.’”
It’s great to stand by your personal beliefs, and if nudity is a no-no for you as an actor, that’s okay. That being said, one must ask himself: is it fair for filmmakers to bend to Alba’s demands, regarding nudity or anything else for that matter?
Either way, we now know that Robert Rodriguez had a slightly more extreme vision of Sartana Rivera, it’s unfortunate Alba kept us from seeing that vision to come to fruition.
