Logan Lerman Opens Up About Filming Nude and Tied to a Bed" for New Movie

Published: June 16, 2025

Logan Lerman is getting candid about the "weird" and "different" experience filming his new movie Oh, Hi!, where he spends a good portion of the film naked and chained to a bed.

The 33-year-old star plays Isaac, a love-averse man who finds himself quite literally held hostage by his date Iris (Molly Gordon) after telling her that he's not looking for anything serious during a weekend trip.

Lerman admits that he was "nervous about everything" when making the movie, but that's part of the excitement for him. "It's like, 'I've never seen this before. I'm going to have to act for most of the time, tied to a bed, completely naked,'" he says, describing it as "a little weird, a little different."

He adds that he did not prepare for the experience, instead preferring to "avoid it." "You avoid it. You push it off to the corner of your mind, you forget about it, and then you show up and go, 'I guess I'm doing this today,'" he opines.

However, he credits his co-star Molly Gordon for making the experience more comfortable. "We were instant friends, and yeah, it was just like a safe zone. We felt comfortable getting really, really close to these scenes and embarrassing ourselves," he explains.

Lerman says that he was drawn to the part" because Isaac was so different from himself, and he embraced the challenge. "You know what resonated with me about my character Isaac in this movie is that I'm so much more of an Iris in real life, and I like the idea of trying to understand why this person is the way he is," he adds.

The movie, which premieres on July 25, also taught Lerman the importance of communication in relationships. "Yeah. It's important to communicate where you're at, what you want," he says.
