The naked truth

Well, you see this is my first nude part and I surprised myself because I was really quite comfortable, very relaxed. I wasn't at all embarrassed or ashamed - I was actually quite comfortable with my own nudity, which I wasn't expecting.

Did you insist that the rest of the cast and crew followed suit, or were allowed to keep their socks on?

No I think it's important that everybody, including the people in the sound recording booth, everyone, other actors, the technicians all be naked, because it's only fair.

But seriously, I only acted nude!

How do you expect the animators to tackle Boadicea?

I have spoken to the animators and given them very strict instructions that I need to be very slender, [with] nice perky breasts, [with] no evidence of the two children that I've had. [I need to look] in really, really good shape.

This is which is why I'm comfortable with doing this sort of nudity really, because I can look fantastic.
