Ballet legend Rudolf Nureyev left absolutely nothing to the imagination in Ken Russell‘s 1977 biopic Valentino, delivering a full-frontal and rear performance that had audiences clutching their pearls and their opera glasses simultaneously.
Playing the iconic silent film star Rudolph Valentino, Nureyev — already one of the most celebrated dancers in the world — proved he was just as fearless on screen as he was on stage.
The film was classic Ken Russell chaos: over-the-top, provocative, and unapologetic, and Nureyev matched that energy beat for beat. They don’t make em like this anymore. Check him out after the NSFW jump!
