Charlize Theron has insisted she only bares flesh on film if it is integral to the storyline. The claim comes after she appears naked in the opening scene of her new movie Burning Plain, after naked stints in many of her previous movies.

Charlize explained: “I'm not some exhibitionist. I think people think I just love walking around naked.

“When you start making it about yourself, you stand in the way of doing your job. I have to sit in an editing room with the director and a bunch of execs, and if I had to sit there and think about myself and these men watching me, I think that would make me insecure. I'm just like every other girl out there. I would cringe.”

The heat gals wouldn’t dare to go bare on film but if we looked like Charlize, you’d struggle to get us to ever wear clothing!
