Hollywood actress nm0000210 autoJulia Roberts[/link] avoided the set of her new movie nm1791727 autoCharlie Wilson[/link]'s War so she didn't have to see co-star nm0000158 autoTom Hanks[/link] get naked in front of the camera.
Hanks strips off for a scene in the film, but Roberts was too embarrassed to watch her fellow actor bare all so she made sure she stayed well away.
She says, "I wasn't around for Tom's butt shot. A memo was sent round saying, 'If you can't handle it, stay home.' So I didn't go in."
Roberts - who famously disrobed in 1990 film Pretty Woman - recently insisted she will never shed her clothes for a role again, claiming actors who agree to nude scenes are not staying true to their craft.
