Celebrity Naturist of the Year 2019: Helen Mirren
Over the years, I picked many a celebrity known for a penchant for nudity, sometimes only at home, sometimes in celebrity photo shoots, sometimes because of real naturist experiences, from Eva Mendes and Rosario Dawson to Emily Ratajkowski.
This year, I chose an award-winning actress who actually publicly said she enjoyed naturism, i.e. non-sexual social nudity, or as she put it, being naked in public together with people of all kinds, gender, age, race. Because that's what naturism is all about: feeling good about yourself, feeling good with the sun shining on your skin or the water flowing around your body. That's why the term 'naturism' is even better than the term 'nudism,' it expresses the natural state we're in without clothes, the way we were born, the way we are one with the nature around us.
Celebrities who are naturists might not have 'outed' themselves, due to social pressures and the age-old reproaches of 'but what will the children think?', an excuse which has been used about just anything from dancing to art.
So, yes, it is getting difficult for me to keep finding celebrities who have a positive perception on naturism and nudity in general, rather than celebrities who like to bare part of their body just for cosmetics ads and lots of cash.
Dame Helen Mirren won a British Naturist of the Year Award back in 2004, so with her, I know I'm on safe ground. I recently also enjoyed her acting in the movie The Good Liar, which reminds you why she won awards, not just for naturism, but also for acting.
My hope is that in the years to come, we'll have more actors, celebrities, singers, and role models in society coming out to give a positive image to naturism and defend the right to non-sexual social nudity anywhere in the world.
Due to her openness and to her real naturist experiences, British actress Helen Mirren is my Celebrity Naturist of the Year 2019.
