Christopher Meloni jokes about ‘length’ and ‘girth’ for nude Peloton ad
Christopher Meloni refuses to reveal if there were some extra pixilated squares added for his viral nude Peloton commercial.
“I’d like to say we had negotiations over length, girth and swinging radius,” he jokingly tells Page Six in an exclusive interview. “But I signed a non-disclosure agreement so I really can’t speak.”
Earlier this week, the buff “Law & Order” actor, 61, delighted fans with a hilarious ad for the fitness app that showed him doing a wide variety of exercises — including bicep curls, jogging, yoga and bicycle crunches — all while nude.
The company took advantage of Meloni’s recent confession that he enjoys working out au naturel.
Meloni says that doing the ad “was kind of a no-brainer.”
“My first thought was how smart they were, then I looked at the copy and I thought it was very funny … I like smart and I like funny.”
The “Oz” alum declined to state definitively if he went completely method and shot the ads naked.
“I’m just telling you that I’m a very free actor,” Meloni teases. “I do my best work when I feel free.”
And as for when this predilection to do bicep curls without a stitch of clothing on started, the “Wet Hot American Summer” actor shares that it’s a longtime preference.
“I think from the very beginning I’ve always enjoyed that sensation, so you know, go with what you like, go with what you know,” he adds with a laugh.
When he’s not pumping iron in the nude, Meloni is getting ready to shoot a new season of “Law & Order: Organized Crime” in New York and admits that he tries not to complain about filming in New York City in August.
“I have dug ditches, I have demolished buildings with a sledgehammer, I have done construction all in mid-summer in Washington DC which is basically a swamp,” he shares. “So I got no complaints even though a complaint will squeak out every once in a while so shame on me. It’s all good, it’s a great job, it’s a great town.”
