Emily Browning: 'I don't mind nudity'

Emily Browning has said that she had no problem with the nudity in her new film Sleeping Beauty.

The Sucker Punch star strips off several times in Julia Leigh's debut feature, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.

Speaking at the official press conference for the movie, Browning said: "In my everyday life I'm a little bit nervous and not particularly brave. I feel like if I can be completely brave in my work then I'm doing something right.

"I just loved the material and I could tell from the beginning that Julia wasn't going to do anything gratuitous - it was all tasteful. Also, I just don't have a problem with naked human bodies - it just didn't really seem much of an issue to me."

Of the scenes where her character is left naked and sedated with a series of older men, Browning added: "I didn't become as disturbed during those scenes in the sleeping chamber as you might imagine, because I kind of taught myself to meditate through those scenes.

"I wasn't present in those scenes at all, so they didn't really have as much of an effect on me as I thought they might have."
