The actor told The Mirror that he liked the costumes in Star Trek because they covered up his body.
"Those uniforms were really nice and stretchy and felt good," he said. "You didn't want to put on weight in that suit or it could look unpleasant.
"The costume designers had a way of hiding your love handles, though. I was tempted to keep some of the props but they take it off you at the end of filming."
However, Pegg explained that he would never go nude, saying: "I don't want to be a sex symbol. I'm a geek."
He added: "Anyway, if I was naked on screen it would not be titillating."
