Paul Newman Nude Scenes

As chain-gang prisoner Luke Jackson, Paul Newman spends long stretches of the Florida prison yard shirtless, the physicality underscoring his quiet defiance toward George Kennedy's Dragline and the guards who run the camp. A brief butt scene catches him mid-labor, reinforcing just how stripped down and exposed Luke is kept by his captors.

Newman's Larry Flint, one of Shirley MacLaine's ill-fated husbands in this black comedy, gets both a shirtless scene and a topless scene alongside a straight sex scene, giving his segment of the anthology-style story a more overt physical charge than his co-stars' chapters. The sequence stands out in a film otherwise built around rotating leading men and MacLaine's narration.

Playing player-coach Reggie Dunlop, Newman gets a underwear scene that plays against the film's rowdy hockey-arena chaos, a quieter, more private beat for a character usually scheming in locker rooms and bars. It is a brief glimpse of Dunlop off the ice, stripped of the bravado he performs for his team.

As boozy, womanizing novelist Andrew Craig in this Stockholm-set thriller, Newman has a shirtless scene that fits the character's reputation for self-destruction even as he chases a conspiracy involving Edward G. Robinson's Nobel laureate.

Newman's Chance Wayne, the drifting gigolo opposite Geraldine Page's faded star Alexandra Del Lago, appears shirtless in a scene that plays into the character's trade on his looks and charm. It is a small but telling piece of a performance built around Chance's fading currency as a hustler.

As Fast Eddie Felson, Paul Newman goes shirtless in a quiet clip from The Hustler, a flash of the physicality he brings to the pool-hall drama opposite Jackie Gleason's Minnesota Fats and Piper Laurie's Sarah Packard.

Paul Newman plays the drifter Ben Quick in The Long, Hot Summer, and one scene catches him shirtless and in his underwear as he settles into the Varner household alongside Joanne Woodward's Clara.
