The actress, who has done nude scenes in the films Havoc and Brokeback Mountain, turned down a recent offer because the scene called for her to show a vagina.
Hathaway refused to reveal the name of the film, but told Marie Claire magazine, "I turned down another movie because it was going to show a vagina – not mine, but somebody else’s. And I didn’t believe that it was actually necessary to the story."
Hathaway believes that having a no-nudity clause in their contracts is stupid, but will only do nude scenes when she feels they are necessary to the story. She explained, "I don’t actively search for (movies) that I can get naked in. t’s not the most fun requirement of the job, but nor is it something that I would ever not do a job because of. Some people choose not to do it on moral grounds; I think that’s a shoddy argument."
