Scarlett Johansson Defends Nude Scenes In New Film 'Under The Skin'

Scarlett Johansson has opened up about her nude scenes in new film, Under the Skin.

“The nudity is written in to the script and I hope the audience agrees that it's, you know, it's not really indulging," she explained.

"It's almost like biological in a weird way, I think, and there is a lot of intention behind it."

The blonde bombshell added she’d learned a lot from getting her kit off: “You know I'm not a nudist by nature so of course you feel self-conscious about it beforehand.”

“But it actually allowed me to realize and explore what kind of judgments I had about myself because I had to abandon those and really see myself as blank sort of slate and it was an interesting exercise for sure."

ScarJo, who also stars in the upcoming Captain America 2, described her role in the indie flick as a “real challenge.”

“I think the opportunity to play a character that really is kind of free of judgment and instinct, and these things that make us all very human and the opportunity to sort of a find very present state and clear and focused.”

“It was a real challenge in life and certainly it's a challenge in work and that was appealing."
