In the scene in question, Affleck’s character Nick Dunne enters the shower, and you see a little more than you may think.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in 2014, he stated of Gone Girl: “I want to take this moment to thank David [Fincher] for the way he treated me.
“In instance, we had a shower scene in the film. And David reassured me, because trust is vital with directors and actors: “Listen, if we tilt down, we will never see anything.” So thank you, David.
“And thank you for keeping the set cool. Because if you only have one chance to show America your junk, it should be frigid. It’s a genuine gift.
Jennifer Garner, Affleck’s then-wife and fellow actor, also discusses his penis being in the film.
Garner joked with Ellen DeGenerous on her show, “What I have to say is – you’re welcome.”
“You know, I try to consider myself a charitable person and I wanted to give back,” she continued.
Recalling the time Affleck came home and told her about the shower scene, the mother of three said, “It was a discussion. It was like, ‘Hey, um, at work today [director David] Fincher coaxed me into coming out of the shower.’
“And I was like, ‘Cool, well I hope he had on a wide lens’.”
Garner and Affleck ended their 13-year marriage in 2018.
They have three children together: Violet, 18; Fin, 15; and Samuel, 12.
Affleck has now married former flame Jennifer Lopez, and Garner has been linked to American businessman John Miller.
