Rebecca Romijn couldn’t stand the nudity of the Mystique costume.
Rebecca Romijn played Mystique in X2: X-Men United. She looks undeniably stunning covered in blue, however, she didn’t feel the same way about her suit. As she admits during an interview she was in denial about the nudity. She couldn’t stand that her most sensitive body parts were just covered with prosthetic pieces.
“I kept checking with the rest of the cast, saying, ’You guys, I’m totally covered up, right?’ And they’d tell me, ’No, Rebecca, you’re naked,’” she recalls. When she was literally too freaked out about it, director Bryan Singer brought her some white wine in order to help her relax and go on shooting the movie.
