As always, the BBC surprises us by making a dramatic period piece that by pure coincidence gives us the best ever view of Claire Foy naked. The Night Watch has quite a good offering of nude scenes from multiple actresses. This is the only scene where we see Claire Foy naked, but we do see her technically undressed in her nude scene in the bathtub with Anna Wilson-Jones, who does get naked in that one. We also get a jaw-droppingly amazing full frontal nude scene from Anna Maxwell Martin, and let me tell you, she rocks the full bush in all its glory.
We don’t really get to see Claire Foy nude much outside of this movie. She has only one other proper nude scene, and that’s from the ITV/BBC Two miniseries White Heat. In that one, Claire’s nips are visible, but it’s not particularly explicit or gratuitous. For starters, the lighting’s not great, there’s a naked dude’s body in the way half the time, and she’s covering her tits with her arms the other half of the time. Curiously, The Night Watch precedes that series by a year, making this her first ever nude scene, so I’m not entirely sure why she wound down so severely before never doing a nude scene again.
For those who say we get to see Claire Foy nude in The Girl in the Spider’s Web, my answer to that is a simple no. Well, not in any way that’s going to leave any true fapper properly satisfied anyway. Another common reference is that to Claire’s huge breakout as a lead, all the way back in Pulse. Well, I like shower scenes and sideboob as much as anyone, more even, but if there are no nipples visible, it’s not a nude scene unless there’s something more down below, which, I’m sorry to say, is not the case in Pulse. The big thing as I write is of course whether we’ll see Claire Foy nude in A Very British Scandal. I’m going to save you the trouble and just tell you no.
So for all these reasons, we should all be really grateful that we get to ogle Claire Foy topless in The Night Watch. Yes, the scene is extremely short, but if you’re happy to either watch the money shots on loop, as we have above, or stare at freeze frames of the best parts, as we have below, you can frankly get a lot more mileage out of this one than out of the much longer one in White Heat. The entire content of the scene involves Claire stripping off her nightgown, exposing her breasts, and trying on a pajama top given to her by Anna Maxwell Martin’s character.
By the way, if you have any fantasies of Claire Foy in lesbian relationships, you’ll get not one, but two, in this film. In fact, each of her nude scenes, both this one and the one where we don’t get a money shot from her, are in sexually-charged situations with her lesbian lovers, played by Anna Maxwell Martin and Anna Wilson-Jones, respectively. That’s enough meandering waffle for now. We’ve clearly established that the best way to see Claire Foy nude is in The Night Watch, and all the color corrected caps from that are below. Fap on and prosper!
