firstly the quote could be complete fabricated so all arguments including mine could be a waste of time anyway.

it is not that unusual for actors/actresses to change their mind on this issue. Kirsten Dunst and Christina Ricci are two that come to mind. This is not because they are 'selling out' as some would claim, more that the reasons why they were against it initially may have altered over time. Over time as Ghengis pointed out she may be more comfortable in her own skin then once she was. Also over time, watching and admiring films which may have featured risque scenes as well as working with actors and actresses who have done nudity may have changes her perspective.

Also in regards to her comments about being against the exploitation of women, it should be pointed out that actresses such as Michelle Williams, Katie Holmes and Anne Hathaway refuse to appear in 'lads mags ' such as FHM and Maxim for that very reason but have still done nudity in films. I don't recall Krisin's precise comments on this subject, but isn't it possible you may have misinterpreted her comments?

Sultan also suggested such scenes can be implied very easily. This is true of course. You could use that same argument when talking about violence, drug use and language in films as well. But if like me you don't believe nudity to be in aby way wrong or immoral, why would you do that?

I'm not trying to insult anyone here, it's just that having spent the a portion of the last year defending one of my other favourite actresses from being called a w***e and a slut for doing such a scene this issue has got me a bit riled up.
