This is why Blake Lively says she changed her stance on filming nude scenes
Blake Lively calls her portrayal of a blind woman who regains her sight in All I See Is You, “the performance that [she’s] most proud of.” But Lively — who had a rule against nude scenes — almost never read the script because her team assumed she would pass on the project since it called for nudity.
Her team told Lively that the film's director, Marc Forster, was unwilling to remove the nude scene in question. "I thought well, he’s not unmoving," Lively recalled during an interview with Vanity Fair. "Let me read it and if it’s great, then I’ll [talk] him out of it."
But Lively didn’t end up wanting to talk Forster out of removing the scene. She thought it was handled perfectly, and appreciated why it was necessary.

"I always find nudity distracting," Lively told VF. "I'm very in love with my husband, but if there's a pair of boobs out, I'm a human being! You're like 'boobs!' It doesn’t mean I’m lusting for them, [but] when there's naked boobies, you look at them."
According to Cosmopolitan.com, Lively’s breasts don’t actually make an appearance in the film, but the movie definitely shows more of the actress than we’re used to seeing.
Not only did Lively step into new waters with a nude scene, but she also immersed herself in the experience of being blind in order to portray the character as authentically as possible. She consulted blind friends and wore blackout glasses to better understand the experience.
