Lee Pace Stripped Down Naked On His Very First Day Filming ‘Practical Magic 2’

Lee Pace is stepping into the mystical universe of *Practical Magic 2*, and his introduction to the set was nothing short of unforgettable. The actor revealed that his very first day of filming the long-awaited fantasy sequel involved ditching his wardrobe completely to shoot a scene alongside two of cinema's biggest superstars. In the upcoming follow-up to the 1998 cult classic, Pace plays a romantic interest opposite Sandra Bullock. But rather than easing into the shoot with a cozy conversation or a quiet moment, the production team threw him directly into an intense physical setup that required full transformation and maximum exposure. According to reports, Pace's debut scene required his body to be covered in temporary prosthetic tattoos while he wore no clothes at all. He described the moment with a laugh, recalling how he had to lie in a bed completely nude while co-stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman walked into the room to perform spellwork over him.

The actor found humor in the initial day of filming, sharing how surreal it felt to kick off a major studio sequel stripped down in front of Bullock and Kidman. The scene introduces his character directly into the witchy chaos of the Owens family, establishing his central role in the narrative right from the start. The sequel marks a huge moment for fans of the original 1998 film, which originally introduced audiences to the magical sisters navigating family curses and romance. Bullock and Kidman are returning to headline the new chapter, bringing their beloved sisterly chemistry back to the screen after nearly thirty years.

While specific storyline details are still being kept secret by the studio, Pace's role as a romantic lead for Bullock's character puts him right at the center of the story. The actor also reflected on his life as a Hollywood leading man and poked fun at his own physical stature. Standing at an impressive 6-foot-5, Pace joked about his tall frame on set, humorously labeling himself a "monster" when discussing his screen presence. His mix of charm, imposing height, and willingness to dive headfirst into bold scenes promises to make his addition to the franchise a memorable one.
