'I feel better, more empowered and comfortable in my skin!' Rosario Dawson reveals why she stripped down to her birthday suit as she turned 39
She stripped down to her birthday suit to celebrate turning 39.
And Jessica Jones star Rosario Dawson has revealed exactly why she shed all her clothing and shared the images with fans on Instagram.
Rosario told Daily Mail Australia she feels 'better, more empowered and comfortable in my own skin' after b@ring all.
The actress said she hopes the candid images can help empower her fans.
'I think it's one of those things especially tuning 39 in Hollywood,' she explained.
'I feel really good, I feel better, I feel more empowered and more in my body and more comfortable in my skin.'
She added with a laugh: 'I'm happy to be in my birthday suit all day.'
The Hollywood star said it is important not to 'take yourself too seriously'.
'I just really wanted to show that it's about having confidence in yourself and having fun and being playful and not taking things that are not serious, so seriously,' she said.
'To just have fun and enjoy yourself and be along the journey and ride with yourself and that's real self-care.'
She also joked that (unsurprisingly) she gained more followers after posting the n-ked snaps online.
Rosario added that the female body should be celebrated in all its shapes and forms.
The Sin City star is currently promoting the new #SaveUgly campaign of The Wilderness Society.
The environmental campaign highlights 'ugly' creatures that need to be saved.
'I don't always have good days,' she said.
'I feel like a lot of Save Ugly that's really important is recognising that the ugly parts of my personality and character, my sad moments, down moments the angry moments, that's worthy of love to.'
She also revealed to Daily Mail Australia that she is set to have an operation for an hernia after emergency surgery in 2016, to 'stop internal bleeding from a ruptured cyst on my ovary.'
'I'm going to have to go and get another surgery which is really daunting and scary but actually not unusual,' she said.
After being so open about her surgery with fans, the actress said she hopes to encourage others to get on top of their health and make it a priority.
