KJ Apa Performs Nude Scene Originally Planned for Madelyn Cline in Prime Video Film

KJ Apa stars opposite Madelyn Cline in the upcoming romantic drama The Map That Leads to You, which premieres on Prime Video on August 20. The film, based on J.P. Monninger's novel and directed by Lasse Hallström, follows their characters' chance meeting and blossoming romance while traveling in Europe. Apa revealed in an interview on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy that he unexpectedly performed a nude shower scene originally intended for Cline, resulting in an unplanned full-frontal moment featuring his hairy buttocks. The decision for Apa to step in was made on the day of filming after Cline was unable to shoot the scene, catching Apa off guard as he had no prior preparation. Alongside Apa and Cline, the cast includes Sofia Wylie, Madison Thompson, Josh Lucas, and others. This candid revelation has added a notable talking point ahead of the film's release.
