Rachel Bilson won’t strip for a movie role.
The former O.C. actress claims several directors have wanted her to appear naked in their films, but she has remained “strong-willed” and refused to take her clothes off.
She said: “They like to put in nudity wherever they can. But I’m pretty strong-willed and believe it can be avoided.”
Just as the 29-year-old beauty has difficulty with on-screen nudity, she also claims it is more awkward to shoot love scenes with a boyfriend than an actor you don’t know.
Rachel – who starred with her ex-fiance Hayden Christensen in the movie Jumper and was in a three-year relationship with her O.C. co-star Adam Brody – told the Daily Record newspaper: “Doing a love scene with someone that you’re involved with is more awkward than doing a love scene with someone you’re not dating.
“Either way, it’s definitely weird though. It’s certainly not normal to kiss a guy in front of 10 other guys and a camera.”
Rachel also believes her life has taken a different path to Mischa Barton – who she starred alongside in The O.C. - because she was older when she took on the role of Summer Roberts.
She said: “I was 21 when the The O.C. started, Mischa was 16.
“I can’t imagine dealing with that kind of success at that age. My life may have been very different had I started out that young.”
