Incendiary Topless Photo of the Day: In a historic and highly controversial move, Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani has posed nude for French magazine Madame Le Figaro.
The photo, in which the Iranian film star stands topless with her hands covering her breasts, represents the breaking of a massive cultural taboo.
It has hit the Internet along with a video made by the French film academy.
The video features Farahani and other César-nominated performers undressing, but she is the only one to show her uncovered breasts.
The photo and video have polarized Iranians.
Many have praised Farahani for her bravery, while others feel that she has committed a grave sacrilege.
Official reaction from Iran has been stringent.
“The fate of an actress, who left her own country and joined Hollywood, has been nothing but immorality. The actress who once played the role of caring and decent mothers of Iran has now auctioned off her modesty and honor in front of the Western cameras,” said Iran’s Fars New Agency.
