Ultimate Behind-the-Scene Look At Steve McQueen, King Of Cool

He Loved the Great Outdoors (Especially in the Nude)

Steve McQueen loved adventures, whether it involved racing or just enjoying being in the great outdoors. He also was very free and unencumbered. He famously walked around his backyard without any clothes on. He once said, “I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth.”

His wish to be outside, away from the hubbub also was part of his bad-boy, anti-hero personification. More than anything, he wanted to live his life on his own terms, without being beholden to anyone or anything. He rebelled against any force or person who sought to tie him down or control him.
