Rachel Weisz 'did her own nude scenes'

Rachel Weisz has said that she did not use a body double for the nude scenes in her upcoming movie Agora.

The actress, who stars as the fourth century Greek philosopher and astronomer Hyaptia in the film, told the Daily Mail that it is her body in its two naked scenes.

Weisz said: "It was all me, never even thought of using a double.

"Although I was thinking about baby fat - but I think most of it had gone by the time I went before the cameras. I did some yoga, that helped, and just avoided junk food."

She added that her character in the film "famously never had sex" and "died a virgin", despite being surrounded by male students and slaves.
