Ryan Phillippe Says Fans Still Mention His Nude Scene in I Know What You Did Last Summer – Over 25 Years Later


By Nwosu Chizoba David | @eheadlyn | Entertainment News Headlines

In the realm of iconic '90s horror, few films resonate with audiences like I Know What You Did Last Summer. More than two decades after its release, one of its stars, Ryan Phillippe, is still getting reactions—not for his chilling performance or bloody end—but for a brief scene where he bared his butt.

Yes, that’s right.

In a recent interview on Variety’s “Just for Variety” podcast, the 50-year-old actor opened up about the now-infamous scene where his character, Barry Cox, drops his towel in the locker room, revealing his backside. The moment may have lasted mere seconds on screen, but fans certainly haven’t forgotten.

“I've heard about that for so many years now,” Phillippe joked. “Even now, people come up to me and bring it up. I had no idea it would have this kind of staying power.”

A Lasting Legacy… and Missed Opportunities

While his cheeky reveal remains a fan favorite, Phillippe expressed a bit of regret—not about the nudity, but about Barry’s premature death in the original film. Unlike his co-stars Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt, who are both returning in the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel, Phillippe’s character was killed off, leaving him on the sidelines of the franchise’s rebirth.

“I feel like I made the wrong move dying in all of these projects,” he said with a laugh. “Because then when they're resurrected, I don't get to be a part of them.”

A New Sequel is Coming

Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, the new I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel is set to hit theaters on July 18, 2025. The film will serve as a direct continuation of 1998’s I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and stars a fresh cast including Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, and Sarah Pidgeon. But it's the return of Prinze Jr. and Hewitt that has longtime fans buzzing.

The Cultural Impact

Phillippe says he’s honored to have been a part of a film that has stood the test of time. While the butt-baring scene may be what some fans remember most vividly, the entire movie remains a cultural touchstone for millennials and Gen Z horror enthusiasts alike.

“It's cool to see that those films have endured—that they had the impact culturally that they did,” he reflected. “Even if it makes me feel like a dinosaur, I’m proud to have been part of it.”

Final Thoughts

Whether it's for his dramatic performance or that unforgettable locker room scene, Ryan Phillippe has secured his place in horror history. And as I Know What You Did Last Summer prepares to scare a new generation, fans old and new are reminded why the original still hits hard—even 27 years later.
