What is there to say about 2015’s Bound other than that it has cemented itself in cinematic history by being the first and only feature in which we can see Charisma Carpenter naked? Quite a lot, actually. For starters, Bound was written and directed by Jared Cohn, who deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work in trying to bring back the women-in-prison genre, first with the unfortunately named 17 & Life: Jailbait, which came out the year before Bound, and 2017’s Locked Up, which might actually quite possibly be a candidate for the best women-in-prison film of all time. I think we can clearly establish that Jared Cohn knows how to do whips and chains. He also knows how to pick a damn good soundtrack, but that’s by the by.
The other thing to say about Bound is that it gave use our first ever view of Charisma Carpenter’s boobs in video. So why is it relevant that the Charisma Carpenter nude debut is not the first time we’ve seen her naked, just the first time we’ve seen her naked in motion? It’s relevant because it gives us a little more insight into a question that people have been asking since the mid-00s: Has Charisma Carpenter had a boob job? A lot of people have been saying that her tits have gotten bigger since she played Cordelia Chase in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and later in Angel. They’re very obviously correct, but most people have assumed that the reason behind this is that the actress had gotten plastic surgery for it, but I’m not 100% convinced.
I kind of was, to be fair, but watching Charisma Carpenter nude in Bound has made me rethink that position. The shape of her breasts seems very natural, even in movement. I’m not seeing any obvious silicon secondary shaping. There also aren’t any surgery scars around her nipples, in the armpits, or at the bottoms of her boobs. And speaking of nipples, her nipple placement is very natural rather than too high for the large size, which is often a telltale sign of breast augmentation surgery. I tried to do some research on the topic, but every single source that indicates that Charisma Carpenter’s breasts are fake bases it on absolutely no hard evidence. Not even any soft evidence, really. It’s just a whole lot of “dude, trust me.” I tried to find any interviews where the actress has talked about it herself, but absolutely nothing came up. That said, there is one shot – the one where she’s lying down on her back on the bed – where her titties look a little sus, but what I can say is that if this is a boob job (which is possible), then it might be one of – if not the – best boob jobs I’ve ever seen.
So now that you’ve also seen Charisma Carpenter topless in motion, what do you think? Silicone or natural? Let everyone know by dropping a comment at the bottom of this post, or alternatively, if you have any information that gives credence to one theory or the other, shoot me a message via the contact page or hit me up on the official Twitter. And now to get to the movie itself. Bound is produced by The Asylum. The Asylum is famed for making mockbusters, films that capitalize on the popularity and marketing pushes of other films. Bound came out a month before the Fifty Shades of Grey film, which had been all over the news in the years preceding its production. If you can’t quite figure out where this is going yet, Bound is a BDSM-themed film. Yes, your 90s TV darling is starring naked in a movie about whipping, spanking, and bondage. I bet teenage you never saw this coming.
The film straight up opens with a Charisma Carpenter sex scene. She’s shooting a very awkward glance at the camera as a dude is on top of her, ploughing away. He then rolls off, giving us a second or less of the Buffy actress’ naked body. There’s another sex scene at the end that is quite standard, but the rest of her nude scenes in the film involve her being bound (no false advertising in the film title there) and sexed up by a different dude, usually while all sorts of whips and paddles appear, but never in any action shots. There are other sites for that, I suppose. I’ve gone through and laboriously pulled out every shot of Charisma Carpenter naked in Bound, so unzip those trousers and enjoy all of that below.
