New Bond girl Olga Kurylenko has claimed that she refused to use a body double for nude scenes in her first Hollywood role.

The model-turned-actress objected to suggestions that she should use a double for video game adaptation Hitman, believing that producers would not be able to hire someone with as good a body as her.

"In Hitman, they wanted me to use a body double for me for the naked scenes," she told FHM. "But I was like, 'Absolutely not!' I've always been comfortable in my skin. So I just took my clothes off. I just knew my body was going to be better than hers."

Kurylenko stars opposite Daniel Craig in 22nd Bond movie Quantum Of Solace, which is released in cinemas on Friday.
