At first glance, it might seem like the intimate scenes in "Shameless" wouldn't be a big deal for Justin Chatwin because he's obviously in good shape. But Chatwin didn't exactly see himself that way, but through performing on the series, he came to accept his body more and more. He actually discussed how his body image issues date back to childhood, stating, "When I was a kid, my nickname was 'Bubble Butt.' I had this big giant ass because I was a snowboarder and I did a lot of things with my legs. I played hockey. My upper body grew later. I grew up with so much shame around my body, especially my butt."
Fortunately, "Shameless" plays a big role in having him accept his body and be okay with showing it off to the world. He went on to say, "For me doing this role and being naked in front of television was really terrifying for me at first. It eventually led to a very liberating experience for me." It seems as though Chatwin's acceptance of what he looks like has continued to this day. If you follow him on Instagram, he regularly posts photos of himself without a shirt on, much to the delight of many of his fans, undoubtedly.
