I do all my own n-de scenes,' boasts Rachel Weisz as she squeezes into revealing dress
They are usually wracked with insecurities about their figures. But Rachel Weisz has a little more confidence than your average actress.
Oscar-winning actress Rachel Weisz has revealed she felt 'fit' enough to appear n-ked in her latest film and not have to use a body double.
The 38-year-old stars as real-life 4th century Greek philosopher and astronomer Hypatia in new movie Agora.
Last night she attended the film's premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in a revealing thigh-splitting green Valentino gown, having earlier turned up to a photocall in an olive Christian Dior shift dress.
In the film Rachel appears n-de in two scenes - one in which she emerges from a bath and a young man , played by Max Minghella, attends to her with a towel.
Asked if a body double was used she responded: 'Absolutely not. It was all me, never even thought of using a double.
'Although I was thinking about baby fat - but I think most of it had gone by the time I went before the cameras,' she told the Daily Mail.
Rachel, who has a two-year-old son called Henry with her fiancé, American film maker Darren Aronofsky, added: 'I did some yoga, that helped, and just avoided junk food.
