Anne Hathaway embraces nude scenes in new movie

Anne Hathaway turned down a nudity contract before filming sex scenes for her new movie Love and Other Drugs because she didn't want strict rules to interfere with her performance.

According to World Entertainment News Network:

    The actress' free-spirited and confident character strips off frequently while romping with her co-star Jake Gyllenhaal in the film.

    And while Hathaway admits she was terrified about baring all on the big screen, she opted to waive the standard nudity agreement she was offered, which would have allowed her to dictate what can and can't be shown.

    She tells Britain's Elle magazine, "I decided I didn't want to be doing these scenes and thinking, 'Oh, I can only turn my body 36 degrees, because we'll be breaking contract."

    But Hathaway insists she is beginning to put aside her body insecurities and embrace her shape.

    She adds: "I've hit the point in my life where I understand that being skinny is not sustainable, and nor is it advisable, and nor is it enjoyable."

I don't know if we can call that nudism.  She bared all as part of a role that she was playing because she felt that it was important to the part.  Nudism would be if she talked about frolicking naked at her house, the beach or some resort.

She's been nude on screen before. I can't remember the name of the movie, but it's always on IFC and it's about her and "cholos" (Mexican gangsters). I like her attitude towards this, kind of like the Machete actor.

I love the quote about skinny not being advisable, enjoyable, or sustainable.

I love the quote about skinny not being advisable, enjoyable, or sustainable.

Agreed!

And yeah, she's not a naturist yet, but I think she has the right attitude!

Oh for sure!

Even if it is for work, she is doing more than most people would. Setting a great example to people she is

Wasn't she topless for a sec in Brokeback Mountain?

[Fitz1980]

She's gone topless in a few roles.  I think she was also topless in Havoc.  In recent years she's taken on several sexual roles in controversial films.

I like her she's quite a good actress.

Did she get scammed by some arsehole boyfriend a few years ago?

Wow, sounds like a good show then. But I'll probably not be able to see it since it's always on at like 1am over here

That was a pretty good interview.  I really like her answer about "why do we pay so much attention to nude scenes."

Because...boobs!!

It seems so very silly but it's the way of the textile world.
