10 Famous Actresses Who Regret Stripping Down For Big Roles

Natalie Portman has a curious relationship with nudity as it pertains to her art. There seems to be a very fine line when it comes to being provocative. On one hand, she began her career playing a Lolita-esque character in The Professional and has continually portrayed the darker sides of sexuality in movies like Black Swan and Closer.

But then she also used a butt double in the stoner comedy Your Highness. It's quite the dichotomy.

Natalie Portman hasn’t bared it all in a movie that has hit the big screen, but she did have a nude scene in the short film entitled Hotel Chevalier. If you ask anyone about the film, they’ll probably mention that Natalie has a nude scene, which is the biggest “wow” moment of the film. After the scene, Natalie admitted that she shouldn’t have done it and she since hasn’t shown much skin, with the exception of playing a stripper in the movie Closer.

Years after she appeared nude in Hotel Chevalier and Goya's Ghosts, Natalie revealed how uncomfortable she felt going topless in these scenes. The exact words she used were: "I'm really sorry I didn't listen to my intuition. From now on, I'm going to trust my gut more. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is say no."
