Juno Temple: Breasts, Bush, and EVERYTHING In Between
Juno Temple, the British actress known for her wide-ranging roles in indie films and mainstream hits, has never been one to shy away from daring projects. Over the years, Temple has become somewhat of an indie darling, and her career has seen her embrace roles that include nudity—always with an eye toward artistry and character development. Let’s take a closer look at her top 5 nude roles:
#5 One Percent More Humid (2017)
In One Percent More Humid, Juno Temple stars as Iris, a young woman dealing with the residual trauma of a tragic accident that haunts her and her childhood friend Catherine (played by Julia Garner). Temple’s performance is as intense as ever, with her character’s vulnerability and emotional turmoil often laid bare, quite literally, in intimate scenes. While there are topless scenes, they deepen the complex narrative of her character’s inner struggles rather than merely turning on the audience.
#4 Kaboom (2010)
This film's is a bizarre journey that mixes sci-fi, sexual exploration, and dark humor. Juno Temple plays London, a sexually liberated, flirtatious, and free-spirited character who helps propel the film’s wild energy. Nudity in Kaboom is frequent and unapologetic, leaning into the film’s themes of sexual fluidity and experimentation. Temple’s scenes, including a memorable threesome, reflect the film’s chaotic and youthful exuberance.
#3 Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014)
In this sequel to Sin City, Juno Temple plays Sally, a small but impactful role. Sally is a prostitute who crosses paths with Ray Liotta’s character in a particularly seedy part of Basin City. Though her screen time is limited, Temple’s presence is memorable, and her nudity in the film is brief but noticeable. So are the handcuffs she's wearing while topless...
#2 Afternoon Delight (2013)
In Afternoon Delight, Juno Temple stars alongside Kathryn Hahn in a film that delves into the complexities of boredom, relationships, and self-discovery. Temple plays McKenna, a stripper and sex worker who befriends Hahn’s character, Rachel, leading them both down unexpected paths of self-exploration. Temple’s role is fearless as she navigates McKenna’s complicated life with a mix of naivety and world-weariness. There are several scenes where Temple appears topless, particularly in moments where McKenna is performing at the strip club or in private interactions.
#1 Killer Joe (2011)
Perhaps Juno Temple’s most provocative role to date comes in Killer Joe, a dark and twisted crime thriller. Temple plays Dottie, a young, innocent girl embroiled in a deadly family plot involving murder and betrayal. Her character is at the center of some extremely unsettling scenes, including moments of sexual manipulation at the hands of Matthew McConaughey’s character, Joe. Temple’s nudity in Killer Joe is integral to the story’s uncomfortable atmosphere, as Dottie is often portrayed in vulnerable situations that highlight the power dynamics at play.
Whether in indie dramas or stylized thrillers, Juno Temple’s nude scenes are never gratuitous but are used to enrich the characters’ journeys and the films' narratives. In these five films, Temple brings a unique intensity and authenticity to her roles, proving that she’s not just a fearless actress but also deeply committed to her craft.
