Always a professional, Charleston Heston studies his lines during a break in shooting.

  1. Must have been shooting that scene in "Planet of the Apes," where he and his men went skinny dipping.

  2. You see Heston and the other 2 astronauts skinny dipping at the start of the film, before they encounter the apes. Later on Heston is seen fully naked from behind when he is questioned by the orangutans. Against the producer's wishes, Heston pushed to keep his nude scenes in the film as he felt they were more realistic.The actor would recall years later that a female stagehand complimented him on his ass while shooting the scene.

  3. I always got the impression that he was a bit of an exhibitionist and enjoyed showing himself off. And why not, he was in better shape than most of his peers.

    1. Yes, his support of gun proliferation is worth mentioning.
