Roberts avoids Hanks 'butt shot'

Julia Roberts has revealed that she stayed away from the set of new movie Charlie Wilson's War when Tom Hanks was filming a nude scene.

The actress said she was too embarrassed to watch her co-star bare all for the movie, which is released this week.

She said: "I wasn't around for Tom's butt shot. A memo was sent round saying, 'If you can't handle it, stay home.' So I didn't go in."

Roberts has vowed never to take her clothes off onscreen after stripping off in Pretty Woman, claiming that actors who do so are not being true to their craft.
