Other Crap

Mike Nichols says there was a Portman topless scene in Closer, he cut it, and it will definitely NOT be on the DVD: "There were two seconds of film where you saw her topless. She opened her shirt and that was it, but now that moment has taken on a life of its own. I've heard that you can see the footage online, which is not true. The truth is I had a deal with Natalie. Basically I said, 'It's your body. You decide if the two seconds are in the film.' It was not my call because it's her body. Natalie said, 'I don't want to be walking down the street and see a guy who has seen my tits.' So I took it out." (Nichols also insists that the topless scene will not be on the DVD version.)
