Rachel Weisz Never Wanted Body Double For Nude Scenes

Rachel Weisz "never thought of using a double" for nude scenes in her latest
film.
Before I even continue the rest of this story, I have to ask: Would you EVER do a nude scene in a movie?
Rachel obvious has the choice at this point in her career to bring on a double for those uncomfortable scenes, but the Oscar winning actress says she had no issues stripping down for her newest role. Rachel, who plays Greek philosopher and astronomer
Hypatia in 'Agora', prepared for her naked scenes by avoiding junk food.
When asked if she used a body double, Rachel said at the Cannes Film
Festival premiere of the movie:
"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."
Rachel - who has a two-year-old son Henry with fiance, director Darren
Aronofsky - also revealed she does yoga to help her stay trim.
Here's a little about the movie:
In 'Agora', the English actress emerges from a bath while a young slave,
played by Max Minghella, attends to her with a towel.
A love triangle forms between Hypatia, her slave and one of her students -
played by Oscar Issac.
Rachel says the relationship is not sexual.
"As far as we know she famously never had sex, she died a virgin.
But I thought she'd get at least one kiss."
'Agora' is scheduled for release in December.
Anyone want to see this one?

Can't stand it when these idiots start using the term "baby fat." Uh... you're NOT a fcking baby! Get over it and call it what it is... REGULAR fat!=^_^=
she was referring to the fat she still had from when she gave BIRTH TO HER CHILD not from when she was a baby.
duh.
would love to see your baby fat or anything else you can to show baby
Love Rachel Weisz and yes, its called "Baby Fat". Get over it.

I am really looking forward to this move. Hypatia was such a fascinating woman, who left behind an amazing legacy. From what we know, she impressed everyone she came into contact with. She was absolutely brilliant: math, astronomy, chemistry, philosophy .. and more. A true woman before her time. As to Vera's question about ever doing a nude scene in a movie? Lol .. well, first things first .. let me be in a movie!
I really do not like nudity in films. I feel like it never ever adds to the film. I love old movies, and I never feel that they are lacking in an aspect of the storytelling because there wasnt nudity. I feel like actresses get roped into this idea that their nudity enhances the story, but to me it is all exploitation and it is vulgar because you rarely have men showing anything more than their buts.
With my body you'd definitely want me to use a double! :o)
