> [@Max\_Torque](#): > > Hilary Swank, probably. Angelina Jolie practically already has, in that horrid **Taking Lives** movie. Heather Graham, cited in the OP (I’m having a hard time thinking of any movie she’s done where she _doesn’t_ appear naked, apart from **The Spy Who Shagged Me** ). And maybe also her **Boogie Nights** costar, Julianne Moore. Graham does not appear naked in _Bowfinger_, except from the back. I was en-fucking-raged. ---

> [@middleman](#): > > There have been a few films to make the effort, but unless you consider Chloe Sevginey a mainstream star, it has consisted of anonymous actors and actresses. Well… **Chloe Sevigny** was a working non-porn actress before that scene and has continued on as such. So not a star, but certainly mainstream. The other actress in the same category would be **Asia Argento** , who claimed the sex scenes in her film _Scarlet Diva_ were mostly real. She’s hardly a star either, but is certainly mainstream in the same sense as Chloe. A-lister with full penetration? I doubt it. As **RickJay** said the difference between faking a softcore scene and genuine porn is going to be HUGE for most people, even the most committed of actors. ---

> [@Flip\_Pancake](#): > > And since the OP brought up Ang Lee, anyone seen Lust, Caution? That was pretty hardcore. Word has it Wei Tang and Tony Leung were actually having sex in those scenes. If they’re not, they sure come close (no pun intended). Wei Tang is new to film, but over here Tony Leung is very mainstream, a big Hong Kong star. I would say on the A list in the Hong Kong industry, which is big. He’s famous all over East and Southeast Asia. I swear it looked like Guillaume Depardieu, who died last year and was the son of Gerard, was doing real penetration in [Pola X](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0152015/).
