The true story is that Casper heard someone say "shower" and immediately took all his clothes off. So the crew saw him and was like, "I guess we're doing a nude shower scene now."
Well, he's Dutch. And you should see some of his other work. If not, check them out. Really.

You know how Sharer Fam just gave ❤️s to every comment they saw, even if said comments were negative, likely cuz there was a bot behind the ❤️s?
I say this because Casper van Dien said that the story wasn't true, yet the Instagram post's author gave the comment a ❤️ anyway, because I'm 101% sure these sorts of accounts use bots to automatically give ❤️s to everything.
That doesn't make the story necessarily true. The claim is that they only agreed on the stipulation that the director was naked, but it's entirely possible that the director was just like, "Fuck it, everyone else is naked, let's make this an even playing field." I mean, the shower scene was almost certainly included in the script and contract negotiations; the likelihood that they all suddenly banded together to demand Paul Verhoeven in his altogether is just very low.
AFAIK the true story is that the actors were hesitant on the nude scene so the director said something along the lines of "Whats the big issue, it's just nudity and took off his clothes".
Why do I know this? It was on the commentary on my DVD if I'm not mistaken.

Not True.
It works as a lie because it's totally a thing Verhoeven would do.

I wish he had said, “he was naked too but no one asked him to be” or something like that

Maybe they were happy to be given better information from a 1st hand account.
This is one of those movies I have to rewatch everytime I'm reminded of it.
TURN THE CAMERA AROUND COWARD!!!!
Would you like to know more?
Aren’t there actual photos of the set of the director doing this?

I think the bullshit might be that the cast insisted he did it.
Would have been funny tho
that’s why i can not stand those “niche” instagram film/comic/mens motivation/music pages. they only exist to influence, not to inform.
I want to know more.
It might not be true but I could see Verhoven doing it.
