Earlier today, a big news story in the entertainment press was how writer Damon Lindelof had apologized for a scene in Star Trek Into Darkness where actress Alice Eve stripped down to her underwear. Lindelof tweeted, “I copped to the fact that we should have done a better job of not being gratuitous in our representation of a barely clothed actress.”Tonight, Alice Eve made an appearance on the Conan O’Brien show, but the late night talk show host didn’t ask Alice about her famous underwear scene or Lindelof’s apology. Perhaps, he didn’t bring up the topic, because Alice was wearing a dress that was almost as revealing as the underwear she wore in Star Trek Into Darkness.And while Lindelof might have felt the need to apologize for the actresses state of undress in the Star Trek Into Darkness movie, it turns out that Alice Eve probably felt right at home, as she professed to Conan to being a little bit of an exhibitionist.In explaining how shealways knew she wanted to be a performer,ย Alive Eve said, “I guess I was a little big of an exhibitionist, you know. I had two younger brothers, so obviously I had to organize that battalion.”When Conan asked how she was an exhibitionist, Eve added, “I feel like I said something once that’s going to stay with me. I use to lift up my skirt, and I feel like…as a three year old though. It’s like a child thing to do.” As some audience members hooted, Conan admonished, “She was three, shut up!”
