Netflix is usually known for pushing the boundaries when it comes to nudity, but they were initially leery of a full frontal nude scene featuring then 15-year-old actor Victor Polster. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Girl's director Lukas Dhont was upset when he learned that Netflix wanted to cut the scene from the film. However, after some conversations with Netflix, the scene was left back in. As Dhont told the press: "The version of Girl that will be shows on Netflix will be the same version which premiered in Cannes, and in theaters in Belgium and in other parts of the world." That raised major concerns with many about whether or not it's appropriate for an underage actor's fully nude body to be shown in a film, regardless of the reason, especially when the character is involved in sexual situations, because it may promote child pornography.
