The Iraeli-born actress has agreed to total nudity for a torture scene in the film. Goya’s Ghosts is a drama about the life of artist Francisco Goya. Portman will play the artist’s muse, Alicia.
This is not the first time that Portman performed in the nude for a movie. The young star filmed nude scenes for the film Closer, which also starred Jude Law, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. The scenes, however, were cut before the movie made it to theatres.
Goya’s Ghosts is expected to be in theatres in the fall of 2007.
