Tori Spelling Says Her Billionaire Dad Approved Of Her Going Topless In ‘Scary Movie 2’

In her latest episode of the podcast misSpelling, actress Tori Spelling shared with guest and former co-star Kathleen Robertson, along with her listeners, that she had gotten the OK from her father to appear topless in the 2001 comedy Scary Movie 2.

In the podcast episode, Spelling and Robertson, who had previously been co-stars on their show Beverly Hills 90210, reminisced about their time on set.

Spelling admitted, “I was so scared I wasn’t gonna get the part because you were in it…You know, here I am trying to transition to the big screen, whatever that means anymore. But, I was like, you know, two 90210 girls?” She added that thankfully, “No one even thought twice about it.”

Robertson said, “I don’t know if you remember, but that production was something where I think we were supposed to be working on it for, like, six weeks, and it ended up being, like, four months…It was so over budget and, like, so crazy. And you remember, like, we would just go to set, and we wouldn’t even have sides. It would just be like, ‘We’re just gonna improvise today.’”

“There would be days we would come in, go through makeup and hair. We’d go to, like, one of our trailers, and we’d be talking and waiting…And then they’d be like, ‘You know what? We’re just not gonna film today,'” Spelling said.

Spelling also revealed that one scene in the movie, which was ultimately cut, had required her to go topless as a comedic tribute to the 1982 horror movie The Entity. She remembered, “It wasn’t negotiated beforehand. It wasn’t ever brought up. Nothing. And then I remember sitting in my trailer and getting the script, and I was like, ‘Woah.’”

She continued that her then-manager had called her father at the time, billionaire TV producer Aaron Spelling, for his input. “He was like, you know, ‘It’s a Miramax film. Like, this is a big deal for her. It’s not hurting anything; if it’s not weird story-wise, maybe she should do it.’ I’m like, ‘What?’”

“And he was like, ‘If the Weinsteins want it, she should probably, like, not go against that,’…and no, I didn’t do it,” Spelling noted.
