One of the most adorable British men of all time, Martin Freeman, is apparently not a fan of the so-called "privacy pouch." In an interview with Jonathan Ross, brought to us by Digital Spy (link below), Freeman said that so long as everyone on set is comfortable, he'd rather just let it all hang out.

"It's not an easy thing to get naked in front of 80 people eating bagels or whatever. I've done a few naked things in my time and after a while I stopped using what they give you.
"They give you a discrete pouch, a sock sort of thing. It's like a medieval purse."
The Hobbit actor said that pouches tend to fall off after a few scenes, so he prefers to go with what God gave him.
"Because it's so humiliating. I think if the woman is not offended, I would rather just be naked," he added.

In case you're wondering, he has gone fully nude on film in Nightwatching, a clip from which you can see above. My personal favorite, however, has still got to be him being ridiculously charming while fully nude in Love Actually—though we don't actually get to see him nude—and now that I know he was actually nude, it's even better.
