Alan Cumming recalls nude scene with Jessica Lange

Alan Cumming has lived a life and then some, and he’s spilling the tea on his experiences in his memoirs.

Alan Cumming’s breast friend is Jessica Lange.

The actor’s newest memoir Baggage: Tales from a Fully Packed Life, is full of juicy tales from his life in showbiz. One story, in particular, involves Lange, a nude scene and her so-called “fantastic boobs”, reported The New York Post.

Cumming, 56, starred with the two-time Oscar winner, 72, in the 1999 drama Titus. He wrote about how the two were joking around about ageing impacting their physical features and Lange was worried that her breasts would sag as she hit a certain age.

Following their lighthearted convo, the actors had to film a nude scene in which The Good Wife star was directed to put his hand on her breasts.

In his book, Alan recalled that he remembered telling Lange, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Jess.’ You have fantastic boobs.”

Jessica Lange in 2003, around the time of Titus.

‘“Oh, honey,” the Tootsie actor quipped at the time. “If your hand wasn’t there that thing would be halfway round my back.’”

In another anecdote, Cumming described how he accidentally crashed Jennifer Lopez’s wedding to Cris Judd in Milan. Lopez, 52, and the music video choreographer were married from 2001 until 2003.

Cumming explained that he was in Italy with his pal and former Harper’s Bazaar editor Glenda Bailey to attend the Versace show at Milan Fashion Week. The pair attended the afterparty at Donatella Versace’s Lake Como mansion. However, they soon realised that they were actually at the “I’m Real” singer’s nuptials.

“‘Oh my God,’ I whispered to Glenda. ‘We’re at JLo’s wedding reception!’” he wrote in his book.”

And indeed, as the happy couple began to cut the cake, we were encouraged to raise our glasses in a toast, and Donatella shouted, ‘To Jenneefer and Crees!.’

He then revealed his elation and shock when the Wedding Planner actor actually came up to him and Bailey and said “hello.” Cumming added that he forgot who Lopez was and she had to remind him that they hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live together.

Cumming quipped that he tried to lighten the mood by telling Lopez how much he loved her hit track at the time, “Ain’t it Funny.”

He then proceeded to congratulate Judd for directing the music video, however, Cumming realised years later that he praised Judd for the wrong video. Judd instead directed Lopez’s 2000 hit, “Love Don’t Cost a Thing.”

Realising his little snafu “twenty years later,” the Spy Kids actor wrote in his memoir, “having done some online research in order to remember which particular J. Lo song it was I liked all those years ago, that I have discovered the video I described in such glowing detail to the groom was not in fact the one he directed at all.”

“An easy mistake to make perhaps, but nonetheless, no doubt a doubly bitter pill for Cris to swallow considering I was congratulating him, at his wife’s behest, for something he had not only not done, but which was actually the work of the legendary photographer Herb Ritts,” he said.

Baggage: Tales from a Fully Packed Life is on bookshelves now.
