"Among Us" star Penelope Frego - Actress strips naked in "Playboy

Actress Penelope Frego (31) graces the cover of the latest issue of Men's magazine "Playboy." With her nude photos, the South Tyrolean actress, who is known for her roles in "Under us" and the film "Girl You Know It's True," aims to contribute to normalizing female nudity.

"Nudity is much more accepted among men, but it is much quicker tabooed among women, and I want to free them from that," explains the 31-year-old in an interview with "Playboy." "If I associate a message with my pictures, it is exactly that: the demystification of the female body."

Penelope Frego on Nude Scenes

Frego continues: "There have been progress in recent years. For instance, a woman lying topless on the beach and going into the water is a wonderful thing." And that's exactly what the actress does: On the cover of the magazine, she is seen naked and with wet hair at the beach in the water.

Being naked is no problem for Penelope Frego in front of the camera. Quite the contrary: The number of clothes one wears in a role doesn't always say something about intimacy. "I had already had kissing scenes or situations where it was about certain emotions that came closer to me than nude scenes."

Penelope Frego rejects plastic surgery

With her images, she also stands for naturalness. Although she "had a lot of fun making up," operative help has not been an option for her so far. "I believe that most interventions make you dependent, and I don't want that feeling." Even a manicure would be a form of dependency for the actress.

Penelope Frego, born in 1992 in Bolzano, studied acting at the Cologne Schauspielschule Keller and made her first appearance before the camera in 2017. She was seen, among other things, in "SOKO Cologne." Since October 2023, she has been playing the role of Judge's daughter Bettina Körner in the RTL series "Under us," and most recently, she was also seen in a supporting role in the film "Girl You Know It's True."

The Italian native learned an accent-free German in her acting training: "I didn't want to limit myself to roles with an Italian accent," she explains. Being cast for a completely German role in "Under us" was therefore a particularly "beautiful sign" for her.
