The ABC News story begins, "Before Lindsay Lohan went topless, the crew of her new movie, ‘The Canyons,’ dropped their pants."

The article continues, "They were down to their underwear,” a source told ABCNews.com. “It’s a common thing for a crew to do to make actors feel less self-conscious.”

The story adds, "The practice has precedent. ‘Love and Other Drugs’ director Edward Zwick got naked when his stars, Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, balked about the 2010 film’s many nude scenes. “I said, ‘What do you want me to do?’ Zwick told New York Magazine. ‘And they said, "You take your clothes off." And I said, "Fine!" ’ "
