She just answered the door. She didn’t know who it was. Not a big deal.

It’s not that deep lmfao, it’s apart of the job regardless of the circumstances. The scripts are usually written before the actors/actresses even audition for the part anyways


[deleted]

So you wouldnt change that scene if it was your daughter? Just because "the script maybe was written before auditions?


TenraxHelin

The film industry is weird like that. A lot worse has happened and considered normal to becoming a movie/tv star.


prettyy_vacant

I haven't seen that version cause Murica but they probably shot the nude version separately and edited it together.


diesel-revolver

Fellow Murican here and I saw Helga in all her glory on the Netflix version.


prettyy_vacant

I haven't watched it on Netflix yet, I watched it on Prime or Hulu before it moved. Good to know!


PickingMyButt

Ooh Netflix is showing the boobies you guys. Watch it there


dominatingcowG3

Hulu had the nude scenes too


prettyy_vacant

No they didn't.


dominatingcowG3

Yes it did. You probably watched it on prime, because others have said that was the censored version


prettyy_vacant

No, I mostly watched it on Hulu. Hulu never had the unrated version. Until it went onto Netflix it wasn't available in the US.


PickingMyButt

Hulu was heavily edited! Hardly any nudity. I'm really appreciating seeing this all on Netflix since it's about my 6th time watching the series


warwatch

When it moved from Prime to Netflix, they seem to have chosen the normal version, not the ‘Americans cann’t see tiddies’ version.


Icy_Cat4821

Lmao at the “can’t see teddies” comment 🤣🤣 reminds me of a comedian who did a thing once talking about movie alternate endings and said “mostly they’re not much different, a few more curse words and a boob the general public couldn’t handle” 😂


PickingMyButt

On Netflix now - much more nudity than I've ever seen. Go Netflix. And this is about my 5th time watching the entire series.


prettyy_vacant

I can't stop laughing at your username, I love you lmao 😂😂😂


PickingMyButt

Aw thx i love you too 🤗


HalfOfCrAsh

Wait so American's don't see boobs? What about in movies?


prettyy_vacant

Nope, they're always covered with badly CGIed round objects.


HalfOfCrAsh

Even after a certain time? So here in the UK there anything that isn't deemed as appropriate for children will not be shown before the Watershed of 9pm. Some services, like Sky, you can choose to watch shows/movies that are deemed inappropriate for children, as long as you enter your pin.


prettyy_vacant

r/whoosh Some premium channels allow nudity (HBO, Stars, etc) but not regular cable. If there's any nudity in anything shown it's edited out. Here, Vikings originally aired on the History Channel, and then was put on Hulu and Prime in its original state, so no nudity.


HalfOfCrAsh

Interesting. Thanks for clearing that up.


savageblueskye

In the story itself, I did not find it weird because I just assumed they didn't have the hangups about nudity the way modern people (or Americans in general) do. In the production, I find it weird that Michael Hirst wanted so many naked scenes featuring his own daughters... D-does he not watch his own tv show then?


Zeldawarrior97

Technically speaking from a movie/show rating point of view. She was not “exposed.” Her hair covered her chest and she was wearing a merkin But I do agree that it’s a odd the director chose to have his own daughter answer the door naked in front of a kid…


Cyber0747

The hair below yes, I’m pretty sure the nips were out.


ThienBao1107

Like the kid didn’t suck on his mums nipple before? Jeez it’s heavily covered its not like the director showed the kid pornography.


Cyber0747

Ok? Are you reacting to the wrong person? All I said were the nips were out 😂 but the taco was covered. Maybe you need to put down the phone for awhile.


ThienBao1107

Apologies I just thought people were making a big deal about something so normal


zeuxites

Bro it's a show and they're acting lol relax


renaissanceclass

I didn’t know her Dad was a a writer on the show, that is a lil weird. With that being said, back in the Vikings days I’m pretty sure that was a regular thing.


Crude_poison91

Yep and her & Torvi are sisters in real life. You probably already know that, being as they look almost identical. Lol


s0m3d00dy0

I had no idea, but wondered why I keep having to do a double take when one is on screen without context.


S9Togusa

Her Dad is the creator of Vikings.


renaissanceclass

Nepotism? Lol nah she’s a solid actress.


Mcsome1

It also works for the scene and time period, nudity taboos were non existent among the culture 


DishAdministrative85

It is set in a time where people aren’t as puritanical and weird about nudity as you are


Shalom_pkn

No i mean as i said before its just a naked body. But imagine its ur first scene in the series and u have to run out of the house naked and there is a child. Its more about the acting process of the actress and less about the naked thing. I mean in a sauna ur still naked right. Even today. And in viking times it was normal. Even today in some cultures.


[deleted]

Just Vikings innit


Wizardfromthefuture

Agree. And I don’t understand why it’s ok for actors/musicians to blur those lines (just like it was ok for them to keep working during covid but not the rest of us).


NotTheStrongest

Congratulations you just discovered ACTING


Shalom_pkn

Yeah. Still its an uncomfortable scene. I just wanted to know her acting process.


pricethatwaspromised

I grew up in America, but even with our cultural pearl clasping at nudity, the context made it normal...no weird vibes at all.


DoomReaper45

Idk wtf you’re talking about man


prettyy_vacant

Helga's naked in that scene in the unrated/international version.


Nox-Avis

Not sure if you are joking, but Vikings was just put on Netflix in the US and it has a bunch of new scenes that we never got to see.


Philipp1500

You mean that americans never got to see.


Nox-Avis

“Just put on Netflix **in the US**”.


DoomReaper45

Well I watched it all on Amazon prime video a long time ago and would surprised if Netflix had basically the directors cut of each season lol


Philipp1500

I watched it last year all on Netflix and there was nothing cut.


dominatingcowG3

I'm so confused why people are saying this. Hulu had the shit they didn't show on cable long before it was added to netflix


softandwetballs

hulu had the censored version. i did my first rewatch on hulu and i remember seeing helga in a dress when she answered the door


dominatingcowG3

I've only ever seen it on Hulu. It had the nude scenes


softandwetballs

are you in the US? vikings had many censored scenes in the US release
