On December 7, 2007, Todd Haynes’ Bob Dylan-inspired story I’m Not There debuted in theaters, starring multiple manhunks, including a nude Heath Ledger. Now, seventeen years later, everyone’s favorite twink Timothee Chalamet is starring in a more straightforward Dylan biopic, with Edward Norton joining him as the legendary Pete Seeger, so what better time to revisit the late Heath’s fully nude scene and other naked stars who’ve portrayed folk singers in the past?

Timothée has yet to go nude since his breakthrough role in the 2017 Oscar-winning film Call Me By Your Name, so our hopes that he strips down as Dylan in the upcoming A Complete Unknown are pretty high. Back when Heath stepped into the role, he was the only one of his fellow actors playing the different sides of the iconic musician to get naked in the film. At about the twenty-four-minute mark, we see him toweling off in front of a mirror and catch a glimpse of his ass and hairy cock and it had us wondering if penises are the not-so-hidden secret of folk music? When the Kingston Trio sang “Hang down your head Tom Dooley” maybe were they actually saying that this Tom Dooley is super hung!
00:24:08 Heath is toweling off straight out of the shower, luckily the dressing table mirror reflects the whole Ledger log. And that's no joker! (11 secs)

Though they kept covered in I’m Not There, costars Christian Bale, Richard Gere, and Ben Whishaw all still have great nudity to their names. And they aren’t the only ones who’ve played folk singers and also have great content on Mr. Man. The Kung Fu Master himself, David Carradine, once portrayed songwriter Woody Guthrie in a film called Bound For Glory, Oscar Isaac was the titular struggling musician in the Coen Brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis, Christopher Guest invented a whole fictional folk world in A Mighty Wind, and Tim Robbins played a conservative folk singer who runs for Senate in Bob Roberts - and every one sans Guest has flashed full frontal! Coincidence?
