Justin Long recalls 'Distance' nude scene

Justin Long was reportedly told that his nude scene in Going the Distance could have given the film more success.

Long's nudity was cut out of the movie but the actor is unsure whether this would have made any difference to its poor box office performance.

According to Absolute Now, he said: "Some people have said that my nude scene might have saved the movie. I'm flattered but I don’t know. Maybe it would have tanked even worse!"

Long added that he is relieved the sequence had been axed for the sake of his mother.

"I voluntarily did it but it just seems like it would have been out of place. I'm glad for my mother's sake it got cut out though."
