Justin Hartley is a little jealous of costar Milo Ventimiglia's This Is Us nude scene.
On
the pilot episode of the hit NBC series, Ventimiglia — who plays father
of triplets Jack Pearson — bore his bare buns for audiences to see.
Sitting down with the ladies of The Talk
on Monday, Ventimiglia’s costar Hartley, who stars as Kevin Pearson on
the show, is open to following in his on-screen father’s footsteps — and
is a little disappointed the same opportunity hasn’t come his way yet.
Asked
if a nude scene has been presented to him yet, Hartley responded, “You
know, the thing about it is — no, I’m a little upset about it.”
Hartley, 40, joked, “I mean, what does that say? Am I losing it?”
But Hartley, who is father to adolescent daughter Isabella Justice off-screen, is fine leaving nudity to Ventimiglia. “I just leave that to him. He’s very good at that.”
“He’s
a tremendous actor and a very talented guy and a very sweet guy, but
also a very good sport and just an awesome human being,” he gushed about
his costar.
In
October, physically fit Hartley revealed that frequently being
unclothed or “eye candy” without intention behind it has bothered him at
times.
“Yeah
it has to be honest with you. I have no problem doing that kind of
stuff when it’s necessary. You know for the show, especially in the
pilot episode, we were telling that story, you know of this guy who is
being objectified and sort of sick of taking his shirt off for no reason
at all. It doesn’t matter what he’s doing, they want his shirt off,” Justin mentioned to The Insiders.
“So
the interesting thing about that is in order to tell that story you
have to sort of show it in that story, right?” he said. “So I then had
to have my shirt off quite a bit in the pilot. That I don’t mind at all,
you know storytelling. But the gratuitous stuff it does, it gets a
little old sometimes, right? And, raising a daughter, I see this stuff
all the time. It’s a touch much sometimes.”
This Is Us airs Tuesdays (9 pm. ET) on NBC.
