Natalie Portman's nude debut Updated: 2006-07-07 10:01
Hollywood cutie Natalie Portman is set to bare all in her new movie.
The stunning actress will be seen completely naked during torture scenes in
the upcoming historical drama 'Goya's Ghosts', which focuses on revered artist
Francisco Goya.
Portman plays Goya's muse, Alicia, who becomes embroiled in a scandal after
she is accused of being a heretic by a monk. advertisement
It is not the first time Portman has stripped off for a movie role.
She previously exposed her body in the complex romantic drama 'Closer', which
also starred Jude Law, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen, but the explicit scenes
were eventually cut.
The 24-year-old actress, who appeared in the three 'Star Wars' prequels, has
previously admitted she is uncomfortable being a sex symbol - because of her
role in 'Leon'.
Portman shot to fame at age 12 playing a young Lolita-esque orphan who
befriends a hardened assassin in the critically acclaimed 1994 movie.
Although the role won her universal acclaim, the actress admits she found it
disturbing that some men lusted after her - even though she was a child.
"I had a bad experience when Leon first came out," she said. "In hindsight,
I'm really proud of that film, though at the time it was unnerving to find
myself suddenly being looked at." (Bangshowbiz)
